Enterprise Java developers must achieve broader, deeper test coverage, going beyond unit testing to implement functional and integration testing with systematic acceptance. Next Generation Java™ Testing introduces breakthrough Java testing techniques and TestNG, a powerful open source Java testing platform.
Cédric Beust, TestNG's creator, and leading Java developer Hani Suleiman, present powerful, flexible testing patterns that will work with virtually any testing tool, framework, or language. They show how to leverage key Java platform improvements designed to facilitate effective testing, such as dependency injection and mock objects. They also thoroughly introduce TestNG, demonstrating how it overcomes the limitations of older frameworks and enables new techniques, making it far easier to test today's complex software systems.
Pragmatic and results-focused, Next Generation Java™ Testing will help Java developers build more robust code for today's mission-critical environments.
This book
Illuminates the tradeoffs associated with testing, so you can make better decisions about what and how to test
Introduces TestNG, explains its goals and features, and shows how to apply them in real-world environments
Shows how to integrate TestNG with your existing code, development frameworks, and software libraries
Demonstrates how to test crucial code features, such as encapsulation, state sharing, scopes, and thread safety
Shows how to test application elements, including JavaEE APIs, databases, Web pages, and XML files
Presents advanced techniques: testing partial failures, factories, dependent testing, remote invocation, cluster-based test farms, and more
Walks through installing and using TestNG plug-ins for Eclipse, and IDEA
Contains extensive code examples
Whether you use TestNG, JUnit, or another testing framework, the testing design patterns presented in this book will show you how to improve your tests by giving you concrete advice on how to make your code and your design more testable.

Rating: - Pragmatic Java Testing: TestNG and Author's Rants
This book does a great job of introducing TestNG, showing how to use its features to set up tests for code that (inevitably) depends on various JEE APIs, and how to perform different kinds of testing (browser, database, performance etc).
There are some claims that I found hard to follow: For example, the authors advise against using mock objects to stub out external classes, then later state that servlets are hard to test outside of a container because they depend on a few external classes ... Read More
Rating: - so when am I going to learn testng?
This book is not really about testng. it's more about the author's opinions about testing, which are for the most part valid, but I bought this book mostly for the testng part, and I guess I'll have to wait to find something more targeted towards teaching just testng.
Rating: - Very informative and nicely written
Very nicely written keeping real world requirements in mind. Could have had some more examples.
Rating: - Practical Testing with a very good framework
At last a book that deals with testing applications (in java) that seems to be written by author's who have worked with real life, non trivial projects(TDD with adding two money objects together, anyone?).
This book describes using TestNG along with some advanced TestNG concepts and goes on to show how to use the framework to test out JEE projects. There are also chapters showing the developer how to integrate TestNG with other frameworks (like spring, DBUnit, jwebunit etc) which is useful as this ... Read More
Rating: - A top recommendation.
College-level libraries strong in Java programming guides need NEXT GENERATION JAVA TESTING: unlike many Java programmer's guides, it provides a pragmatic discussion for Java developers interested in building stronger code for applications, and packs in chapters discussing testing methods, tradeoffs associated with testing, applications of testing theory and rules, analysis of partial failures and remote invocation, and more. In-depth and extensive code examples throughout also differentiate NEXT GENERATION ... Read More
