[edit] Book
JUnit Recipes : Practical Methods for Programmer Testing (2004) ISBN 1-932394-23-0 is (as of 2007) the best selling work on unit testing with the popular JUnit framework[citation needed]. It was described as "highly recommended" by the ACM Computing Review magazine,[3] and is considered a "standard reference" for JUnit users.[2] Brad Appleton says in his review at StickyMinds [4], "'JUnit Recipes' should probably be mandatory reading for anyone using Java, J2EE, and JUnit in the real world." Lasse Koskela says at Java Ranch [5], "Joe has managed to put out something that I believe will be known as the unofficial JUnit bible for years to come."
