The Art of Unit Testing

Summary

The Art of Unit Testing, Second Edition guides you step-by-step from writing your first simple tests to developing robust test sets that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. You'll master the foundational ideas and quickly move to high-value subjects like mocks, stubs, and isolation, including frameworks such as Moq, FakeItEasy, and Typemock Isolator. You'll explore test patterns and organization, working with legacy code and even "untestable" code. Along the way, you'll learn about integration testing and techniques and tools for testing databases and other technologies.   You know you should be unit testing, so why aren't you doing it? If you're new to unit testing, if you find unit testing tedious, or if you're just not getting enough payoff for the effort you put into it, keep listening. The examples in the audiobook use C# but will benefit anyone using a statically typed language such as Java or C++.   What's inside: Create readable, maintainable, trustworthy tests  Fakes, stubs, mock objects, and isolation (mocking) frameworks  Simple dependency injection techniques  Refactoring legacy code   Roy Osherove has been coding for more than 15 years, and he consults and trains teams worldwide on the gentle art of unit testing and test-driven development.   Table of contents: Part one: "Getting Started" The basics of unit testing  A first unit test  Part two: "Core Techniques"  Using stubs to break dependencies  Interaction testing using mock objects  Isolation (mocking) frameworks  Digging deeper into isolation frameworks  Part three: "The Test Code"  Test hierarchies and organization  The pillars of good unit tests  Part four: "Design and Process"  Integrating unit testing into the organization  Working with legacy code  Design and testability PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
