I am a firm believer in unit testing and I would want all team members I work with to be religiously practicing the techniques recommended in this book. I think there is a lot of good, practical information in this book that any professional software engineer should be incorporating into their daily work.
I’m not totally new to testing, but I’ve struggled with many aspects of it. I think this book does a good job of bringing those along who are completely new to unit testing, but still has enough advanced material to assist those of us who have dabbled in testing and floundered once we’ve hit obstacles.
When I’m on a project that needs to be doing unit testing better (which is often the case), I’d like to have this book available as a simple reference to suggest to the team.
I wish I had a copy back when I started doing test-first development as part of Extreme Programming.
This book starts out with a nice introduction discussing what unit testing is as well as why we should do it. I like the anecdotes peppered throughout the book illustrating the point of why one should bother… I also really liked the analogies you use. It puts the code into a real-world context.
This is the most approachable and cogent JUnit book I’ve read… and I’ve read them all. If you’re new to unit testing with JUnit, this book will quickly get you started out on the right foot. Indeed, in the short amount of time it takes to read this excellent book you’ll learn more than I did in a year of fumbling around.
It is the best introduction to unit testing that I’ve ever read! Excellent!
