SoapUI and Postman, despite their widespread use in automated testing, can only run tests locally and cannot be used in integration systems like Jenkins. Our team chooses Cucumber and Spock to handle this challenge, as it’s possible to conduct Jenkins tests remotely using them. Furthermore, these frameworks enable the creation of automated smoke-tests that run during the installation of an application, something also not possible with Postman or SoapUI.
Spock and Cucumber exemplify the philosophy of behavior-driven development (BDD). The principle behind BDD is that you must first define the desired result of the added feature in a subject-oriented language before writing any tests. The developers are then given the final documentation.
Spock is a testing ground. Some would even call it "a language built on top of Groovy." On another project, where I was acting as an automator, I used Spock. As I previously stated, the execution scripts are separate from implementing each construct in Cucumber. This produces understandable scripts, although it’s time-consuming. Because of this, when writing an implementation, this strategy may be impractical.
