DESCRIPTION
Developers in the know are switching to a new testing strategy - unit testing - which interleaves coding and testing in an integrated way. This has proven to be a powerful combination that results in better designed software with fewer defects and faster delivery cycles.
JUnit in Action shows you how to benefit from this strategy using the popular open source testing framework, JUnit. It's a no fluff discussion of unit testing techniques and best practices. It gives examples of tough situations such as how to unit test EJBs, database applications, JSPs and Taglibs. It discusses unit testing of J2EE applications, and shows how to test in automated builds.
What's Inside
- Testing in isolation with mock objects
- In-container testing with Cactus
- Automated builds with Ant and Maven
- Unit testing from within Eclipse
- Test Driven Development principles
- Unit testing
- Java apps
- Servlets
- JSP
- Taglibs
- Filters

WHAT THE READERS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"There are a lot of poorly written books out there. Some are just plain wrong and others just barely manage to solve the problem, but don't go much further than that. With a number of the Manning books I can see myself start to think differently about the problems and so I end up being a better developer. The JUnit in Action book was like that for me. At first it bothered me that I was changing my code in order to test it, but then I started seeing that the changes made the code better overall. Now my code is littered with factory methods and similar structures.
You guys are doing good stuff."
-- Joshua Smith, a reader
"The book is liberally sprinkled with JUnit best practices that every reader should take to heart. The examples are clear and real world. The author addresses the complex issues of unit testing EJBs, and web apps head on. He does not shy away from the real issues that come with testing these kinds of applications."
-- Wade Matveyenko, A Reader
