"A book that is seeing a third release must be awesome and this book certainly is" - Sander Zegveld

"Previous editions of the book were widely regarded as one of the best books in Unit Testing. The decision to update it to include examples in JavaScript (according to most surveys, the most used programming language in the world) is a smart move, making the book more directly applicable to most programmers, regardless of their server-side stack." - Jaume Lopez

"This book is a must read, for any one who would like to be a better javascript developer or wants to start integrating Unit-Tests into their development process. It is a great balance between technical background and hand on examples." - Charles Lam

Roy Osherove  is an internationally-recognized expert in unit testing and agile software methodology. Still an active coder, he consults and trains teams worldwide on the gentle art of unit testing and test-driven development.
