Full online reviews

• Review by Tim Barcz
  "This book is a must own, buy it. It covers unit testing from start to finish and will get you up to speed on unit testing rather quickly while giving you a solid foundation to build upon in the future"
• Review by Grant Palin
  "Overall, this book covers unit testing techniques in depth, and is well worth keeping handy when writing unit tests."
• Review by Michael Sonsino -  DZone
  "The book is called The Art of Unit Testing, but it's really about the craft. It's a practical, soup-to-nuts guide to implementing effective unit testing."
• SLASHDOT Review of the book
  "Osherove's book has something for all readers, regardless of their experience with unit testing. While the book's primary focus is .NET, the concepts apply to many different platforms, and Osherove also covers a few Java tools as well. "
• Review by Scott Muc
  "Roy presented the material in a way that seems like he assumes you're not an idiot. There wasn't a lot of "hand holding" which can be found in other entry level books"
• Review By Damien White
  "This seriously may be the best book ever written on unit testing. I understand that “the best” is a strong statement, but this book is really the perfect package."
• Review by Ryan Rivest
  "I wish this book was around when I was just starting to unit test. I’m recommending it to all of my friends – beginners and veterans!"
• Review by James Mckay
  "It deserves to be as much a classic as books such as Code Complete, Design Patterns, or Martin Fowler’s Refactoring."
• Review by Round Crisis
  "Examples are not great, there are errors on some of them, and (possibly the worse thing of it all) some of the tests dont follow the advice that is given in the book, particularly in naming convention."
• Review by Ward Bell
  "Let me say that again. I highly recommend this book – five stars -, especially to folks like me who are not deep into unit testing. This review is full of my grumpy disagreements. That’s how I engage with a good book."
• Review by Dr. Random
  " This is a really good book, which should be part of any agile development library. It doesn’t matter if you are writing your first unit tests, or you’re a seasoned pro, there is going to be something here for you."
• Review by Taswar Bhatti
  "Last but not least, would I recommend this book to anyone? The answer is definitely “YES”!!! "
• Review by 'Not Rocket Science'
  " It's great that Roy Osherove is the author of this book, because he is not just an expert on one specific framework, but he rather knows about the whole concepts and foundations of unit testing. That results in a well-balanced and complete book. "
• Review by The ClavèCoder
  "This book is definitely added not only to my “Must Read” list, but on the short list of “Must Keep Handy” books. It’s that important. ...the list inside the back cover, Test Review Guidelines, is worth it’s weight in gold. "
