Unit Testing in Java Summary

Unit Testing in Java: How Tests Drive the Code by Johannes Link (andrena objects ag, Karlsruhe, Germany.)

Software testing is indispensable and is one of the most discussed topics in software development today. Many companies address this issue by assigning a dedicated software testing phase towards the end of their development cycle. However, quality cannot be tested into a buggy application. Early and continuous unit testing has been shown to be crucial for high quality software and low defect rates. Yet current books on testing ignore the developer's point of view and give little guidance on how to bring the overwhelming amount of testing theory into practice. Unit Testing in Java represents a practical introduction to unit testing for software developers. It introduces the basic test-first approach and then discusses a large number of special issues and problem cases. The book instructs developers through each step and motivates them to explore further.

Unit Testing in Java Reviews

I haven't found a high quality book like this on JUnit. Unit Testing in Java does for unit testing what Alan Cooper's About Face did for usability: it makes unit testing mainstream among developers.-Frank Cohen, Push to Test
