About Spock Framework
Spock is a testing and specification framework for Java and Groovy applications. What makes it stand out from the crowd is its beautiful and highly expressive specification language. Thanks to its JUnit runner, Spock is compatible with most IDEs, build tools, and continuous integration servers. Spock is inspired from JUnit, RSpec, jMock, Mockito, Groovy, Scala, Vulcans, and other fascinating life forms. Spock Web Console is a website that allows you to instantly view, edit, run, and even publish Spock specifications. It is the perfect place to toy around with Spock without making any commitments.

EarlGrey
With the EarlGrey framework, you have access to enhanced synchronization features. EarlGrey automatically synchronizes with the UI, network requests, and various queues; but still allows you to manually implement customized timings, if needed. EarlGrey’s synchronization features help to ensure that the UI is in a steady state before actions are performed. This greatly increases test stability and makes tests highly repeatable. EarlGrey works in conjunction with the XCTest framework and integrates with Xcode’s Test Navigator so you can run tests directly from Xcode or the command line (using xcodebuild). The EarlGrey documentation for users is located in the EarlGrey/docs folder. To get started, review the EarlGrey features, check for backward compatibility, and then install/run EarlGrey with your test target. After everything is configured, take a look at the EarlGrey API and start writing your own tests.

Mockito
Mockito is a mocking framework that tastes really good. It lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API. Mockito doesn’t give you hangover because the tests are very readable and they produce clean verification errors. Read more about features & motivations. Top 10 Java library across all libraries, not only the testing tools. In late 2013 there was an analysis made of 30.000 GitHub projects. Although Mockito reached number 9 in the main report, mockito-core and mockito-all are the same tool and therefore the factual position of Mockito is number 4, surpassing famous tools like Guava or Spring. Treat this study as an indicator of a big impact that Mockito makes every day on unit tests written in Java.

Citrus
Framework for automated integration tests supporting a wide range of message protocols and data formats! In a typical test scenario the system under test is running on a test infrastructure while interacting with Citrus over various messaging transports. During the test Citrus is able to act on both sides as client and consumer exchanging real request/response messages over the wire. With each test step you can validate the exchanged messages with expected control data including message headers, attachments and body content (e.g. XML, Json, ...). The test provides a Java fluent API to specify the test logic and is fully automated. The repeatable test is nothing but a normal JUnit or TestNG test and can easily run as integration test in a CI/CD pipeline. Kamelets represent Camel-K route snippets that act as standardized event sources and sinks in an event driven architecture.
