About this listen

Unit Testing Principles, Patterns and Practices shows you how to refine your existing unit tests by implementing modern best practices. You’ll learn to spot which tests are performing, which need refactoring, and which need to be deleted entirely! Upgrade your testing suite with new testing styles, good patterns, and reliable automated testing.

About the Technology

Great testing practices will help maximize your project quality and delivery speed. Wrong tests will break your code, multiply bugs, and increase time and costs. You owe it to yourself - and your projects - to learn how to do excellent unit testing to increase your productivity and the end-to-end quality of your software.

About the Book

Unit Testing Principles, Patterns and Practices teaches you to design and write tests that target the domain model and other key areas of your code base. In this clearly written guide, you learn to develop professional-quality test suites, safely automate your testing process, and integrate testing throughout the application life cycle. As you adopt a testing mindset, you’ll be amazed at how better tests cause you to write better code.

What's inside:

  • Universal guidelines to assess any unit test
  • Testing to identify and avoid anti-patterns
  • Refactoring tests along with the production code
  • Using integration tests to verify the whole system

About the Listener

I think this book, compared to other technical books. is harder to follow in audio format. partly because of the frequent reference to figures, code samples and links.

I would definitely recommend reading it though. As it has a nice flow and covers topics in nice detail.

Good book. Bad audio book

The book was well read and works quite well in audio format. It falls down a bit in the way it refers to the supplementary material, often using 'this listing' rather than the listing number which is fine if you're following along but harder if you aren't but decide you want to see a particular listing. The bigger problem though is that there are quite a few mentions of 'this link'. Understandably the links aren't read out, however they also aren't in the reference material. Including a links/references section at the end of the reference material would have been really useful.
