Enterprise Java developers must achieve broader, deeper test coverage, going beyond unit testing to implement functional and integration testing with systematic acceptance. Next Generation Java(TM) Testing introduces breakthrough Java testing techniques and TestNG, a powerful open source Java testing platform.

Cedric Beust, TestNG's creator, and leading Java developer Enterprise Java developers must achieve broader, deeper test coverage, going beyond unit testing to implement functional and integration testing with systematic acceptance. Next Generation Java(TM) Testing introduces breakthrough Java testing techniques and TestNG, a powerful open source Java testing platform.

Cedric Beust, TestNG's creator, and leading Java developer Hani Suleiman, present powerful, flexible testing patterns that will work with virtually any testing tool, framework, or language. They show how to leverage key Java platform improvements designed to facilitate effective testing, such as dependency injection and mock objects. They also thoroughly introduce TestNG, demonstrating how it overcomes the limitations of older frameworks and enables new techniques, making it far easier to test today's complex software systems.

Pragmatic and results-focused, Next Generation Java(TM) Testing will help Java developers build more robust code for today's mission-critical environments.

La parte che spiega TestNG non dice molto di più della documentazione on - line.
Quello che da valore al libro sono i design pattern per i test, applicabili sia a TestNG che a Junit.

This book is written by the creator of testng. This book delves into the history of java based test frameworks; outlines the shortcomings of existing frameworks like jUnit and the underlying focus of testng. All in all a good book to learn about testng and good testing design practices.

old book

Is old book with old references, has great concepts but is not encouraged to follow as is since there are more mature frameworks nowadays

I liked the approaches to testing that were covered.
Everything from the basics of assertions, through mocks, on up to in container j2ee and beyond.
I recommend this book to all of my QAs even when we are using Junit.
I go so far as to buy them a copy and place it on their desk.
