What is Groovy?

• “Groovy is like a super version

of Java. It can leverage Java's

enterprise capabilities but also

has cool productivity features like closures,

DSL support, builders and dynamic typing.”

Groovy = Java – boiler plate code+ mostly dynamic typing+ closures+ domain specific languages+ builders+ metaprogramming+ GDK library

What is Groovy?






Groovy = Productivity features of Ruby

But Java-like syntax(very low learning curve)

Leverage enterprise Java features

Suitable for non-core developers

Groovy's Value Add for Testing

• Unit testing– Built-in asserts, support for JUnit 3&4 and TestNG,

GroovyTestCase with shouldFail and other methods

– Built-in mocking and compatible with Java mocking

• Integration testing– Metaprogramming allows various kinds of IOC like

intercepting and hooking up of components

– Wealth of GDK methods for Ant, Processes, Files,

Threads, etc. make the automating part much simpler

• Acceptance Testing and Generally– Allows creation of English-like testing DSLs using

Closures, builders, metaprogramming

– Simpler syntax great for non hard-core testers

– Grapes make tests easier to share QCON 2010 - 31

Unit Testing Value Add (Details)

• State-based testing– Asserts, PowerAsserts,

GroovyTestCase, support for JUnit 3 & 4 and TestNG

– Easy to do data-driven style tests with improved file

manipulation capabilities

• Mocking/interaction-based testing– Built-in metaprogrammed mocking

– Compatible with popular Java mocking frameworks

and specialised Groovy mocking frameworks:

JMock, EasyMock, JMockit, Mockito, GMock, Spock

• Coverage– Cobertura and Clover support at source code level

– Other Java tools

Don't Forget: Key Testing Practices • Use testing DSL’s

– Use Acceptance Test/Behavior Driven Development (ATDD/BDD)

• Look to move up the testing stack– It used to be all about the driver

– Now the driver is hidden in the framework or tool stack

• Apply good testing practices– Pareto analysis, bug clusters, mutation testing, test early

– All pairs/equivalence partitions/orthogonal array testing

– Risk-based test selection, coding for testability, use CI

– Boundary value analysis, defensive programming

• Plug and play testing tools– Run different drivers with different runners and different tools

• Complement automated tests with exploration

• Expand testing scope– Test environment readiness, test deployments QCON 2010 - 34

Driver Category• Real browser invoker

– Runs on platform

supported by real

browser

– May need multiple

platforms, e.g. IE6/IE7

– Uses actual JavaScript

engine

– Can be easier to use

with test recorders

– Automation

capabilities differ

across browsers

– Can typically get to all

aspects of browser

• Browser Emulators

– Can simulate multiple

browsers

– Less platform

restrictions

– Good for CI

– Easier to not download

images, resources

– Ability to optimise

JavaScript interactions

– More extensible

– Ability to disable

JavaScript

– Scope for parallelism

Tellurium

• Description– built on top of Selenium but tries to solve several

shortcomings

– "record and reply" style, difficult to refactor and

maintain, so instead define UI components

declaratively then write tests in terms of UI

– Provides many predefined UI objects for you to use

directly, such as Button, CheckBox, InputBox,

Selector, TextBox, and Table but also ability to write

your own custom UI objects

– Supports advanced locating mechanisms: composite

locator, "group locating"

– Supports testing DSL

– Supports data-driven tests

JWebUnit...

• Description– Java-based testing framework for web applications

– Intention is to provide a high-level "driver" Java API

– Wraps existing testing frameworks such as HtmlUnit

and Selenium with a unified, simple testing interface

– Support includes navigation via links, form entry and

submission, validation of table contents, and other

verification steps

– Includes some runner capabilities

– Useful in that it allows you to switch between

different lower level drivers without re-writing your

tests

# language: enFeature: Addition

In order to avoid silly mistakesAs a math idiot I want to be told the sum of two numbers

Scenario Outline: Add two numbersGiven I have entered <input_1> into the calculatorAnd I have entered <input_2> into the calculatorWhen I press <button>Then the stored result should be <output>

Examples:| input_1 | input_2 | button | output || 20 | 30 | add | 50 || 2 | 5 | add | 7 || 0 | 40 | add | 40 |

# language: enFeature: DivisionIn order to avoid silly mistakesCashiers must be able to calculate a fraction

Scenario: Regular numbersGiven I have entered 3 into the calculatorAnd I have entered 2 into the calculatorWhen I press divideThen the stored result should be 1.5

array testing

– Technique

to limit the

explosion of test cases by identifying samples of

important classes of test cases (equivalence classes)

• providing maximum coverage with minimum testing

– Instead of all combinations, systematically use pair-

wise combinations of interactions between objects

• as most faults result from adverse two-way interactions

gpars...

• Description– Library classes and DSL sugar providing intuitive

ways for Groovy developers to handle tasks

concurrently. Four logical parts:

• Actors provide a Groovy implementation of Scala-like

actors, both thread-bound actors and thread pool-

bound (event-driven) ones

• Dataflow Concurrency allows for very natural shared-

memory concurrency model, based on single-

assignment variables

• Asynchronizer extends the Java 1.5 built-in support

for executor services to enable multi-threaded

collection and closure processing

• Parallelizer uses JSR-166y Parallel Arrays to enable

multi-threaded collection processingQCON 2010 - 165

Constraint/Logic Programming...

• Description– Style of programming where relations between

variables are stated in the form of constraints

– First made popular by logic programming languages

such as Prolog but the style is now also used outside

logic programming specific languages

– Constraints differ from the common primitives of

other programming languages in that they do not

specify one or more steps to execute but rather the

properties of a solution to be found

– Popular libraries used with Groovy supporting

constraint programming include Gecode/J, Choco

and tuProlog

– We'll look at Choco as an example

SimpBlog Case Study...

• You have been asked to set up some test

cases representing the Simpsons weekly

blogging habits

• After some careful study you observe the

following strange behavior– They never blog on the same day

– Marge blogs only on a Saturday or Sunday

– Maggie blogs only on a Tuesday or Thursday

– Lisa blogs only on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday

– Bart blogs only on the day after Lisa

– Homer only blogs if noone else blogged the previous

day and doesn't allow anyone to blog the next day

• But so what?– I can use Groovy for Scripting my

environment and or leveraging its runners

and other testing capabilities

– I can call out to other languages when needed

• Cucumber via JRuby for more native control

• Watir instead of Watij

• ScalaCheck for test data generation

• Jython for Robot Framework for more native

control

• Rhino for JavaScript testing
