An interesting alternative to this is Spock [1], a specification framework for Java and Groovy with a nice Groovy DSL. Check out the new reference documentation [2] or try out some specifications using the web console [3].

It has a great syntax for data driven and interaction based syntax.

Data driven example:

  class Math extends Specification {
    def "maximum of two numbers"(int a, int b, int c) {
        expect:
        Math.max(a, b) == c

        where:
        a | b | c
        1 | 3 | 3
        7 | 4 | 4
        0 | 0 | 0
    }
  }

With DSL's in groovy it always looks like the provided syntax is trying to code around Groovy's syntactic limitations, e.g. having to use the bar | in the example

    a | b | c
    1 | 3 | 3
    7 | 4 | 4
