KotlinConf 2017 - Testing Kotlin at Scale: Spek by Artem Zinnatullin

Advanced talk about why and how we migrated thousands of tests from JUnit to Spek and how it helps us write even more tests while keeping them concise and maintainable.

Talk covers testing for both JVM and Android platforms.

5+ years of Android development experience, 7+ years of Java, and 2+ years of Kotlin including ~year of Kotlin-only projects in production and everyday work (Juno Android apps, several libraries, and devops tools). Co-host of "The Context" podcast.

Key point: Artem advises developers who are not already using Spek to wait for Spek 2.x, which is being developed at github.com/spekframework/spek . The aim is to have a developer preview release around the end of November.

Awesome effort! I really hope you can release Spec 2 soon. We need something totally different from JUnit.

Awesome content! I wish Spek had support for Android

I would love to test Spek 2, but it unfortunately it is still not released. Any updates on the release date? Because it's not released so far, i tried to use Spek 1.1.5, but i didn't manage to make the tests run in IntelliJ by using the Plugin (version 0.5.4). I would really appreciate new information about an updated road map of Spek.
