Manning Publications The Art of Unit Testing

Un must have pour tout dev pour bien comprendre l'utilité des tests unitaires et comment les maintenir correctement

Libro da leggere per chi vuole migliorare la sua abilità/professionalità.Spiega bene la distinzione tra stub e mock e ha una ottima introduzione alla varietà di isolation frameworks disponibili sul mercato.Bellissimo il fatto che la casa editrice ti regala anche l'ebook comprando l'edizione cartacea.

The language that is used in the book is C#, but the concepts are easily applicable to other OO languages as well. I learned a lot of new things about what and how to test.I would buy this book again and I highly recommend reading it if you want to really know how to unit test.

This book finally cuts through all the thoerorectical talk and is written in plain, explainable English for what it means to write good unit tests in C#. Many books try to make unit testing into some kind of high level academic topic that reads more like a thesis than just plainly explaining what needs done and why. I like the chapter where the author gives examples of testing with properties, constructors and using the factory pattern. I was immediately able to fit these into my coding using C#. And the author's examples deal with real world issues that we developers face everday, like file dependencies and how to create units tests around these dependencies to test your code with "stubs" effectiviely. So, I give 5 stars because after I read a chapter, I could apply that learning right away. That's how I judge any technical books.

Tanto para gente totalmente nueva como ora expertos es una obra imprescindible. El Sr Osherove es una eminencia en testigo de aplicaciones y metodologías de test. Es un libro que recomiendo encarecidamente ya que aborda temas de testing como de deployment de aplicaciones.
