Appendix B. External Spock extensions and related tools

The official Spock source code found at https://github.com/spockframework/spock contains the core framework, along with extensions for Spring, Guice, Tapestry, and Unitils. Because of the extensible nature of Spock, several other extensions are available outside this repository created by the community.

This appendix presents several Spock extensions created by external contributors that may help your unit tests. Additionally, it covers several other unit-testing projects that play well with Spock or even have explicit support for it.

It’s your responsibility to examine each of these projects and evaluate them for your needs. With the recent release of version 1.0 of Spock, more people will be writing extensions. The number of available Spock extensions will have grown by the time you’re reading this book.
