Continuous Integration and Testing with Grails

Grails is a powerful and productive framework for quickly developing web applications. Using Grails, it is easy to develop a lot functionality in short amount of time. This makes it all the more important to have a solid plan in place for managing change through continuous integration and automated testing. In this session, we'll start by looking at Grails' built-in support for unit and integration testing. Next, we will walk through setting up a continuous integration server to run our tests. Finally, we'll explore plugins that support functional testing and code coverage.
