JUnit Recipes: Practical Methods for Programmer Testing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)J. B. Rainsberger's JUnit Recipes is a wonderful compendium of tips and tricks that can quickly take anyone from novice to expert at JUnit. The organization of the book should make it appealing to unit-testing programmers of all levels. Early chapters are highly introductory, covering the installation and first uses of JUnit. Later chapters cover testing of JDBC, Enterprise Java Beans, XML, and more.
JUnit Recipes includes the best discussions I've read on how to test database applications and on the complicated art of managing test data. This is probably not a book you will read every chapter of. In my programming, for example, I don't use EJB so I only skimmed that chapter. But at over 700 pages is much more of an encyclopedia of wonderful testing techniques than a book that is meant to be read cover to cover. As its title implies, JUnit Recipes is a cookbook of ideas that will allow you to serve up better, and better-tested, applications.
