I personaly prefer the arrange/act/assert schema but it boils down only to the names. The actual content of the sections is the same.

Hi Szczepan

I have my own mock framework (C#) http://fluentspec.com … it’s quite unusual and allows to write Given/When/Then in the test … nobody uses it but you might find something interesting about it

keep up the good stuff
cheers

You showed me spock at devoxx ’08 as far as I remember =)

From the unit testing tools I’ve came across so far I must say spock has the coolest API. It is a total beauty. Well done!!!

I used to do the same thing in JUnit. Then I created Spock (http://spockframework.org), which supports given/when/then natively and gives actual meaning to these terms.
