Description

Groovy's syntax and metaprogramming abilities provides powerful means to simplify writing UI tests using Selenium RC. Frederic will discuss how metaprogramming techniques can remove noise from Selenium test scripts and implements methods that are otherwise not implemented by the Selenium RC Java driver. He will then introduce Groovier Selenium which uses these very techniques to simplify UI tests written for xVM Server and xVM Ops Center at Sun Microsystems

Speaker

Frederic is the User Experience technical lead for the xVM Server and xVM Ops Center projects at Sun Microsystems. He is focussed on applying Ajax technologies to the problem of managing large scale data centers.

Frederic first learned about Groovy in 2005 when he was looking for a way to simplify writing unit tests for Sun's update delivery infrastructure code. He has been an advocate for it's use within Sun since.

Description

The topic of this presentation is about fastest growing open source Java grid computing framework called GridGain and how its focus on elegant simplicity and Enterprise Java integration is helping to revolutionize the grid computing for Java in the same way as Spring or JBoss have changed Enterprise Java landscape.

To underscore the topic of presentation it will also include live demonstration of writing a simple application and grid enabling it to run on a small grid right in front of the audience. All coding during demonstration will be done live. Detailed and in-depth explanations will highlight that grid computing in Java can be fun, simple and productive to use in everyday applications and systems.
