A guide to unit testing Java applications (including J2EE applications) using the JUnit framework and its extensions, this book provides techniques for solving real-world problems such as unit testing legacy applications, writing real tests for real objects, automating tests, testing in isolation, and unit testing J2EE and database applications. Using a sample-driven approach, various unit testing strategies are covered, such as how to unit test EJBs, database applications, JSPs, and Taglibs. Also addressed are testing strategies using freely available open source frameworks and tools, and how to unit test in isolation with Mock Objects. Testing J2EE applications by running tests from inside the container for performing integration unit tests is discussed, as is how to automate unit testing in automated builds (such as Ant and Maven) for performing continuous integration.

So I am relatively new to Java programming and self-taught. I have read some of the sold basics such as Murach's Java SE 6, Head First Java, Effective Java amongst others, and I have started coding and I like what I am doing. Sure, I understand that unit testing is important, and it is not difficult to see the benefits, so where to do I start.

Rating: - Good book, but needs new version.
With the new Junit4, the book needs a new version.
Rating: - Good Introduction to UNIT testing
I read this book pretty much from cover to cover. I found it to be a nice introduction to the unit testing strategy now widely employed in software development projects. This book does put the testing procedures in perspective and it touches upon different types/levels of testing that need to performed to ensure that the code is as bug-free as possible. I really got interested in writing unit tests after writing this book. The concept of Test Driven Development made a lot of sense and I will certainly ... Read More
Rating: - Since this book I am a unit test enthusiast
Before reading this book I seldom wrote unit tests and when I just did it to make the project manager happy. I didn't really grasp what unit test is all about. I suppose many programmers in the industry know that unit testing is important. But they don't write any unit tests as it is boring and the next deadline is very close any way.
I started reading this book because a customer made me frustrated. He complained that stuff which worked in the last release doesn't work any more in the current ... Read More
