New book! The art of unit testing


Hi, I just read the post from Roy Osherove where he anounces that his book "The art of UNit testing" is published and you can purchase it on PDF or print book.

He says that he wished he could haave had this book when he started writing his firts tests. When Roy published his first chapter on PDF for free I gladly downloaded it and have used it to start teaching developers on what unit testing is. So, I am sure his book is really useful for anyone who likes unit tests or works with Test Driven Development.

Wanna give it a try? I will!

Check this brief from http://www.manning.com/osherove/ where you can buy it:

Unit testing, done right, can mean the diff erence between a failed project and a successful one, between a maintainable code base and a code base that no one dares touch, and between getting home at 2 AM or getting home in time for dinner, even before a release deadline.

The Art of Unit Testing builds on top of what's already been written about this important topic. It guides you step by step from simple tests to tests that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. It covers advanced subjects like mocks, stubs, and frameworks such as Typemock Isolator and Rhino Mocks. And you'll learn about advanced test patterns and organization, working with legacy code and even untestable code. The book discusses tools you need when testing databases and other technologies. It's written for .NET developers but others will also benefit from this book.

You can also preorder it on Amazon.com.
