The Art of Unit Testing: with Examples in .NET

Customer Reviews:

Approachable Yet Thorough

By Mark Seemann - June 9, 2009

This book covers unit testing in .NET from a pragmatic, yet thourough and passionate, perspective. In brief, it covers many important dimensions of unit testing from simple "hello world" tests over the use of Stubs and Mocks to how you write maintainable test code. It also covers organizational topics such as how you introduce unit testing in an organization and how to do code reviews of tests.

Although unit testing has become somewhat synonymous with Agile practices, such as Test-Driven Development (TDD), the book never assumes that you will be using TDD. It is valuable wether you write your tests before or after your code.

Roy Osherove clearly has a lot of experience with unit testing, and he willingly shares so we can learn from his mistakes and successes. As a long-term practitioner of TDD myself, I can vouch for most of the advice imparted by this book: It is based on established patterns and best practices that the unit testing community have arrived at... read more

Best book on Unit Testing - Ever

By BOO - July 5, 2009

This book is not an evolutionary book to other unit testing books out there; it's revolutionary.

First of all it's not a thinly disguised book trying to sell you on TDD (as some unit testing books that I've read are), but rather it's a book that truly lives up to it's title - the art of unit testing.

Secondly, the discussions and examples in the book take real world considerations in mind. These are not simple contrite 'Hello World' tests, or 'perfect world' sets of code. It discuss' writing tests on both green and brown field applications.

A third aspect that is truly helpful is that there is an entire section for dealing with implementing unit testing in an organization and the politics you might face while doing so. Because the book isn't biased towards a particular software discipline, tool, or language, but on the 'art' of unit testing, these are tips and tricks you can take with you anywhere.
