Summary
With today's increased workloads and short development cycles, unit test frameworks are increasingly important for building robust, high-quality software. JUnit is the most popular framework for unit testing in Java, and no one knows more about it that its co-creator, Kent Beck. This handy little reference brings together all the bits of hard-to-remember information, syntax, and rules for working with JUnit, as well as delivering the sage advice that can only come from a technology's creator. Anyone doing unit testing in Java will find this reference an invaluable addition to their bookshelf, or their pocket!
