JUnit Pocket Guide

With today's increased workloads and short development cycles, unit test frameworks are increasingly important for building robust, high-quality software. JUnit is the most popular framework for unit testing in Java, and no one knows more about it that its co-creator, Kent Beck. This handy little reference brings together all the bits of hard-to-remember information, syntax, and rules for working with JUnit, as well as delivering the sage advice that can only come from a technology's creator. Anyone doing unit testing in Java will find this reference an invaluable addition to their bookshelf, or their pocket!

Kent Beck is the founder and director of Three Rivers Institute (TRI). He has pioneered patterns for software development, the XUnit family of test frameworks, the HotDraw drawing editor framework, CRC cards, refactoring, and most recently eXtreme Programming (XP). He is the author of Extreme Programming Explained, Planning Extreme Programming, and The Smalltalk Best Practice Patterns. He lives on 20 acres in rural southern Oregon with his wife, five children, four dogs, two sheep, and a variable number of domestic fowl.
