Review: Seminal, pragmatic work - Finally a book about testing that's written by someone who's taken a step back to actually think about it! Previously I had embraced the "abstract and mock everything" approach but found many of the test suites I wrote to be horrible to understand and maintain. They were easily broken by refactoring. This book explains why that approach is bad, by taking an abstract and theoretical view upon testing. This book is particularly useful in terms of: * determining which tests are useful and which are pointless * when to use mocking and stubs, and when not to * separating the "model" (aka business logic) from interactions with other (sub)systems by using a collaborator ("controller"), to simplify testability * making as much of the "model" functional as possible, to further simplify testability The examples are written in C# but it's easy to apply the principles to most other languages. Review: Excellent resource and enjoyable read - I bought this book after finding the authors online courses excellent and have been writing unit tests of varying merit for several years. I found the book extremely easy to read, especially for essentially a text book. I was actually gripped and read the whole book in 48 hours. The concepts in the book come with very good, clear examples and was easy to follow. The structure makes sense and each section comes with a useful summary for referring back to when done. If you want to understand more about effective unit testing or like me just feel like your unit tests are a bit dubious at times this is an essential resource. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 391,461 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 45 in Microsoft Windows Programming 518 in Introduction to Programming 550 in Software Design & Development | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (197) | | Dimensions | 18.75 x 1.78 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1617296279 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1617296277 | | Item weight | 499 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | 16 Mar. 2020 | | Publisher | Manning Publications | ## Images ![Unit Testing:Principles, Practices and Patterns: Effective Testing Styles, Patterns, and Reliable Automation for Unit Testing, Mocking, and Integration Testing with Examples in C# - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81K8dwbaenL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seminal, pragmatic work *by B***Z on 1 March 2021* Finally a book about testing that's written by someone who's taken a step back to actually think about it!
