# Spock Framework

> Spock is an enterprise-ready specification and testing framework for Java and Groovy
> applications. Its expressive, BDD-style specification language is highly readable,
> with first-class data-driven testing, powerful built-in mocking/stubbing, and seamless
> JUnit Platform integration so it runs anywhere JUnit does.
