The Art of Unit Testing: With Examples in .Net
by
Roy Osherove (Goodreads Author)
Unit testing, done right, can mean the difference between a failed project and a successful one, between a maintainable code base and a code base that no one dares touch, and between getting home at 2 AM or getting home in time for dinner, even before a release deadline.

Kniha, kterou bych si chtěl přečíst v době, kdy jsem s různými formami unit/integračních testů začínal.
Pregnantní vyjadřování, zaujatost tématem a podrobné informace k UT jsou hlavní charakteristiky této knihy.
Knihu ocení nejen úplní začátečnící, ale v dalších kapitolách i vývojáři, kteří chtějí zkonfrontovat své poznatky o unit testech s někým dalším a na své si přijdou i ti, kdo hledají argumenty, proč unit testy alespoň v nějaké základní podobě ve firmě i přes odpor kolegů nebo vedení zavést,...more

An excellent book on the part of unit testing that very few other resources even acknowledge: maintenance. When I've tried unit tests I've always had trouble once I needed to change functionality (and therefore the unit tests). This book finally 1) confirmed that I'm not crazy, this is a real problem that you have to address; and 2) provided the techniques to make change coexist with unit tests.
This is a decent book on unit testing in .NET. I enjoyed that it explained the Rhino "recorder" unit test paradigm as well as the more straight-forward preregistration techniques of the Moq framework. It covers the standard unit test patterns like mocks, stubs, and AAA.
Good tips and tricks for TDD and Unit testing. I am very careful when recommend this book to junior developers as I prefer to practice IOC in my designs and Roy seems to believe that the two disciplines are better learned independently. I think TDD is a lot easier to teach within the confines of SOLID and IOC
Must-have book. Unit testing is the basic of agile development and this book is a nice introduction to the rudiment of that technique.
I am the author, so.. I think I like it! but the 2nd edition fixes things in the first edition that today I disagree with.
The excellent book about unit-testing! Nice ideas and good examples. I recommend it to everyone especially to .NET developers.
Solid introductory book for unit testing. Easy reading, which is an achievement in itself for the subject matter.
Great book, really opened my eyes to some of the different ways of testing.
Highly recommended guide to writing readable, maintainable unit tests.
Wrote a review on my blog and posted on Amazon
The chapter about answering hard questions is invaluable I you trying to bring unit test to be used! Wish I had read this book back in the day!
- Give the basic concepts of Unit testing plus explanations of unit testing tools. However, I'm interested in more in techniques and best practices of unit testing
Good for beginners only.
This is a great introductory book. The book is mostly about how to write unit tests that are maintainable. Topics that are also covered are how to write integration tests, and how to use isolation frameworks.
Test Driven Development is touched on, as is working with legacy code.
The book is well written and the author suggests further reading when appropriate.

An essential definition of what unit testing is, if you did not read any book about unit testing.
Apart from the basics in the first chapters, the most important part is part four in how to convince a specific community about how unit testing can change their way of developing applications, and the commonly asked questions about unit testing.

I did a lot of skimming in the first half of the book, but got more out of the second half.
If you're new to, inexperienced with, or have had bad experiences with Unit Testing this book is a great primer.

Well written, a lot of good examples and techniques. The Mocking part was not written the clearest, and he tries to push his own commercial offerings, but other than that it's a great book.
Despite the fact that I am not a .NET programmer, the techniques and practices translate well to other languages.
Good overview and good details on everything related to unit testing.
