I seen a few posts (for instance here 1) suggesting to use groovy to write integration tests for java applications in groovy programming language. I am working on an application using the following technologies: Java 7, java EE 6, POSTGRESQL

I know groovy is

  • easy to integrate with java
  • quick to write code

But is there any particular reason to use it for ITs? Adding another programming language to your codebase would not make your life hell? I think I am missing something from the picture, so I would appreciate your responses.
