## What it is
Spock is a testing and specification framework for JVM developers that combines BDD-style readable specifications with powerful built-in mocking and data-driven testing. It uses a Groovy DSL and integrates with the JUnit Platform and common build tools.

## Use cases
- write readable bdd-style tests for java and groovy code
- mock and stub dependencies in unit tests
- run data-driven tests with parameter tables
- migrate tests to junit 5 platform
- specify expected exceptions in tests

## When to avoid
- your project is pure Java and you want to avoid adding Groovy
- you need a framework outside the JVM ecosystem
- you prefer plain JUnit assertions without a DSL

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: testing, mocking, e2e-testing
- domain: testing, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: bdd, specification-framework, data-driven-testing, junit-platform, groovy-dsl, jvm
