For Java developers, there's now a decade of experience with well-crafted tests that anticipate problems, identify known and unknown dependencies in the code, and allow you to test components both in isolation and in the context of a full application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout this Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEffective Unit Testing\u003c\/i\u003e teaches Java developers how to write unit tests that are concise, expressive, useful, and maintainable.
