Comments on: Open Source Testing Tool Smackdown for REST Web Services http://robinsontechnology.com/blog/2009/06/17/open-source-testing-tool-smackdown-for-rest-web-services/ Mostly Software, Sometimes Business, Always Technology Fri, 10 Sep 2010 08:56:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: brian http://robinsontechnology.com/blog/2009/06/17/open-source-testing-tool-smackdown-for-rest-web-services/comment-page-1/#comment-18081 brian Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:40:56 +0000 http://robinsontechnology.com/blog/?p=142#comment-18081 On behalf of James Lorenzen, who pointed out that leaving a comment on my blog is problematic (which I intend to fix very soon): Great article. I did the same thing not too long ago for our team and we decided on using groovy to test our REST services. See my article here http://jlorenzen.blogspot.com/2009/01/testing-rest-services-with-groovy.html. I also ran across this post yesterday discussing the same issue and he is using the grails functional-test plugin and it looks super simple http://thediscoblog.com/2009/06/15/grails-hip-tip-testing-restful-services/. I don't think I would ever knowingly write tests in XML, not matter how easy it was. I am so anti-XML today it's not even funny. Because of that I would us gant (groovy ant) instead of ant if I had a choice. Again, I don't want to stare at ant xml files all day.
