| “The Art of Unit Testing provides a thorough, incremental
introduction to writing tests as part of the programming process.
Programmers looking to write their first test will find easy-to-follow
instructions, while those who have been testing for a while will find
ideas for refining their technique.” —Kent Beck, Three Rivers Institute, author of Test Driven Development by Example |
"An important book that should have been written years ago" —Michael Feathers, author of Working Effectively with legacy code |
| “This book tells all the truth about unit testing, even the unpleasant side of it.” —Franco Lombardo, Molteni Informatica | “Roy knows testing.” —Wendy Friedlander, Agile Solutions |
| “Unit testing, directly from theory to practice.” | “You'll find in this book all you need to quickly get up and running
with unit testing. I've enjoyed the chapter on test code organization
and refactoring; and the one on making your team/company embrace unit
testing. Distilled experience. My rating: 5/5” —Alessandro Gallo, author ASP.NET Ajax in Action |
| “Beautifully crafted, detailed unit testing masterpiece. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!” —Mohammad Azam, Microsoft MVP, HighOnCoding | "Every book on unit testing ever written has been for amateurs. This one is for professionals." —Josh Cronemayer, ThoughWorks |
| "Serious about software craftsmanship? This book is a must-have for everyone who is." —Dave Nicolette, Independent Agile Coach | "State of the art!" —Gabor Paller, OnRelay Ltd |
Unit testing, done right, can mean the diff erence between a failed project and a successful one, between a maintainable code base and a code base that no one dares touch, and between getting home at 2 AM or getting home in time for dinner, even before a release deadline.
The Art of Unit Testing builds on top of what's already been written about this important topic. It guides you step by step from simple tests to tests that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. It covers advanced subjects like mocks, stubs, and frameworks such as Typemock Isolator and Rhino Mocks. And you'll learn about advanced test patterns and organization, working with legacy code and even untestable code. The book discusses tools you need when testing databases and other technologies. It's written for .NET developers but others will also benefit from this book.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
- How to create readable, maintainable, trustworthy tests
- Stubs, mock objects, and automated frameworks
- Working with .NET tools, including NUnit, Rhino Mocks and Typemock Isolator
