Features: The Programmer's Practice Trilogy series includes four books, introducing some tools that practical programmers and successful teams use. Practical programmers use feedback to guide development and drive their personal development processes. When coding, useful feedback comes from "unit testing." To test a bridge, you wouldn't just drive a car through the middle on a sunny day and call it a test. Yet many programmers use this testing method—calling a single successful run "testing." In reality, practical programmers should be able to do better. From this book, you can learn:
- How to write better, faster, and bug-free code.
- How to find hidden bugs and learn how to fix them.
- How to test a small piece of code without using the entire project.
- How to use JUnit to simplify test code.
- How to conduct efficient testing in a development team.
This book describes unit testing using the free, open-source JUnit program library for Java; these techniques are also applicable to other languages and frameworks (this series also includes a sister book for Java, The Art of Unit Testing in C#—Using NUnit).
The Programmer's Practice Trilogy is a series of four small books designed to help programmers solve specific problems and meet needs in their daily work, covering fundamental knowledge essential for modern software development. This series not only showcases practical techniques and tool usage but also embodies the development philosophy upheld by the authors in their renowned work, The Art of Programming: From Novice to Expert. All of this serves as a powerful tool to help developers and teams work efficiently.
The Art of Unit Testing in Java—Using JUnit is the second book in the series (this book also has a C# version, The Art of Unit Testing in C#—Using NUnit), explaining how to perform unit testing in Java using the free, open-source JUnit program library. Its content is widely applicable to other languages and frameworks. The main topics of this book include:
- How to write more efficient code with fewer bugs.
- How to find hidden bugs and eliminate them.
- How to test code snippets without involving the entire project.
- How to use JUnit to simplify test code.
- How to conduct efficient testing in a team, and more.
This book is primarily suitable for Java programmers with some programming and design experience but limited experience in unit testing.
