Sacramento is home to a flourishing development community and tonight's presentation at the The Sacramento Groovy User's by Ed Gibbs will be discussing the latest Behavior Driven Development tool, Spock.  This is a workshop open to the public and meant for technologists interested in the latest inovations for building quality software.

Ed's description:

Spock: The Search for an Intelligent Spec

Spock (http://code.google.com/p/spock/) is a Groovy based Behavior Driven Development (BDD) library. Never heard of BDD? Still writing unit tests in JUnit 3? Come learn what literate tests are about. This talk includes a number of demos and hands on labs requiring minimal setup. You can even try out Spock from your web browser. After a  deep dive into Spock we'll also touch on Geb (http://geb.codehaus.org/) a functional testing tool for driving web browsers. And we'll use Spock to drive it.
