Product Description

Product Description
In test driven development, you first write an executable test of what your application code must do. Only then do you write the code itself and, with the test spurring you on, you improve your design. In acceptance test driven development (ATDD), you use the same technique to implement product features, benefiting from iterative development, rapid feedback cycles, and better-defined requirements. TDD and its supporting tools and techniques lead to better software faster.

Test Driven brings under one cover practical TDD techniques distilled from several years of community experience. With examples in Java and the Java EE environment, it explores both the techniques and the mindset of TDD and ATDD. It uses carefully chosen examples to illustrate TDD tools and design patterns, not in the abstract but concretely in the context of the technologies you face at work. It is accessible to TDD beginners, and it offers effective and less well known techniques to older TDD hands.

What's Inside

  • Learn hands-on to test drive Java code
  • How to avoid common TDD adoption pitfalls
  • Acceptance test driven development and the Fit framework
  • How to test Java EE components-Servlets, JSPs, and Spring Controllers
  • Tough issues like multithreaded programs and data access code

    5.0 out of 5 stars read it 10 times, it's worth , 2 Sep 2008
    By Ionel Condor (Cluj Napoca, ROMANIA) - See all my reviews
    Test Driven - Lasse Koskela/Manning

    I have read this book a few weeks ago and now I am getting started to really apply it in a project.
    In the field of TDD, this book is one of the best books I have ever read.
    The book is easy to ready, easy to understand and well-written.

    The author divided the book in three parts:

    The first one introduces the concepts/the topics: TDD and Acceptance TDD. It presents an overview of TDD, a nice tutorial that presents you TDD from the ground and even how to apply it to a working code (welcome to refactoring ). Nice introduction to ATDD.
    The part is well written and will make you understand very well the concepts.

    The second one tries to demonstrate how we can apply TDD in working examples, in working situations so we may say that is entirely a part dedicated to the concrete world of development.
    Some key concepts here: fixtures, test doubles, web development (servlets, Spring, JSP, Velocity, Wickets), jdbc database, ORM tools like Hibernate, thread testing , concurrency testing, GUI testing (Swing), tools for GUI testing.
    I think the part is a little bit exhaustive, I was getting tired trying to understand all these examples, but anyway it's a nice reference for all of you that might be interested.

    The last part deals with Agile programming /Extreme Programming and presents the concept of building
    an entire application in a test-first manner with Acceptance TDD. It presents an application build
    properly for such Acceptance TDD named Fit. I think that you have to read also some other books covering this topic in order to be fully documented. I think this part does not covering enough all the concepts behind "write the test first".

    It's important to mention also the appendices: they present JUnit and Easy Mock,
    both are well known in the Java world (especially the first one).

    I may say that I really love this book, I do not agree entirely with some concepts in the third part of the book but I think that except these points, even if I should read it 10 times I discover every time something new.
