Greasing the Wheels of Java- Detail level considering testing

Hello Scott,

As I have read reviews, the book shows bit by bit Groovy bits based on different topics. Groovy has nice ways for testing (GroovyTestCase). Testing is very important during the development cycle. I was wondering what the reason is the book doesn't dig deeper into this topic?

Kind regards,

You are absolutely right -- Groovy is a marvelous language for testing Java.

It was a tough decision not to talk about testing, but I ultimately decided that I wanted to write a "pure" Groovy book, not one that focused on Groovy / Java integration. There's a good book waiting to be written about the intersection of Java and Groovy. (I won't say anything more about that, other than 'Stay Tuned, True Believers'...)

In the meantime, Venkat's book Programming Groovy has an entire chapter dedicated to testing with Groovy. It's really quite a nice book -- I highly recommend picking up a copy _after_ you've read mine... (grin)

Thank you for your elaboration on this

I'll definately stay tuned!

Kind regards,
Gijs
