Learn how to improve your Java coding skills using unit testing. Despite the name, unit testing is really a coding technique, not a testing technique. This is primarily for our benefit: we get good confidence in our code, better ability to make deadlines, less time spent in the debugger, and less time beating on the code to make it work correctly. This book shows how to write tests, but more importantly, he goes where other books fear to tread and provide advice and concrete examples of what to test - general things are wrong in all of our programs. With this book, you will: Writing better code, and take less time to write it Discover the tricky places where bugs breed Learn how to think about all the things that could go wrong Test individual pieces of code without having to include the entire project Test effectively with the entire team We will also discuss how to use Mock Objects for testing, how to write high quality test code, and how to use unit testing to improve your design capabilities.
