Fabulous Tests with Spock and Groovy
summary
A compact REST API testing framework using Spock and Groovy is presented, with a lightweight REST client, Gradle for running tests, Allure reports, and CI integration. The approach demonstrates parametrized Spock specs (running five times), CRUD tests against a fake JSON server, a small action library as the missing middle layer, and a quick build process that produced green runs and generated reports on a laptop in about half a day.
