Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When testing becomes a developer's habit good things tend to happen?good productivity, good code, and good job satisfaction. If you want some of that, there's no better way to start your testing habit, nor to continue feeding it, than with JUnit Recipes. In this book you will find one hundred and thirty-seven solutions to a range of problems, from simple to complex, selected for you by an experienced developer and master tester. Each recipe follows the same organization giving you the problem and its background before discussing your options in solving it.

JUnit?the unit testing framework for Java?is simple to use, but some code can be tricky to test. When you're facing such code you will be glad to have this book. It is a how-to reference full of practical advice on all issues of testing, from how to name your test case classes to how to test complicated J2EE applications. Its valuable advice includes side matters that can have a big payoff, like how to organize your test data or how to manage expensive test resources.

What's Inside:

Getting started with JUnit
Recipes for:
Servlets; JSPs; EJBs; Database code; much more
Difficult-to-test designs, and how to fix them
How testing saves time
Choose a JUnit extension:

Book News Annotation:

Focusing on testing individual objects in isolation, this book introduces the building blocks for writing automated, self-verifying tests in Java and offers advice on organizing test source code, collecting tests into suites, managing data within tests, and reporting test results. The second half of the book describes testing techniques for XML documents, servlets, JavaServer Pages, Velocity templates, Enterprise JavaBeans, and Java Messaging Services. Distributed in the US and Canada by Independent Publishers Group.

Synopsis:

A cookbook for building better Java applications, this book contains 150 recipes for better code, using JUnit as both a testing and design tool. Each recipe is a short, self-contained article that answers questions about how to use JUnit, from taking the first steps to testing complex J2EE applications, including servlets, JSPs, EJBs, and JMS components. For developers that want to use JUnit on a new project, information on how to design easy-to-test applications is provided, helping avoid the design pitfalls of many legacy applications. For those that need to start testing an existing application, recipes dedicated to testing even the most difficult legacy components, such as EJBs and JDBC code, are also provided.
