Testing with JUnit - Review

I always appreciate a book that starts off with a 'Getting Started' section that actually get's you started but left out a huge history lesson. The first page clearly explains why unit testing is so important, and how regression occurs in projects. The first graphical depiction of a unit test was displayed around page 4, and was I the only person who spotted the depth of inheritance value of 2? That's superb! As for my favorite chapter it would be 2, and it's simply because it was the 'who, what, when, where, and why' chapter. It really set my expectations of the proceeding chapters, if I can understand what's suppose to occur than I can program for it to occur properly. The quotes throughout the book are neat as well, they break up the huge chunks of information that needs to be digested and are just subtle enough to not annoy you.

By the end of the book you'll understand why unit testing is important, how to get started, and how to get some automated tests going while you sleep over night. The ebook edition has some nice color coded graphics that really speak to the text, I find this to be extremely helpful as well as mandatory. Final note: UML Diagrams.. absolutely satisfied these were used in the book! Highly recommend picking up a copy of this title and getting started with unit testing.
