Summary The Art of Unit Testing, Second Edition guides you step by step from writing your first simple tests to developing robust test sets that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. You'll master the foundational ideas and quickly move to high-value subjects like mocks, stubs, and isolation, including frameworks such as Moq, FakeItEasy, and Typemock Isolator. You'll explore test patterns and organization, working with legacy code, and even "untestable" code. Along the way, you'll learn about integration testing and techniques and tools for testing databases and other technologies. About this Book You know you should be unit testing, so why aren't you doing it? If you're new to unit testing, if you find unit testing tedious, or if you're just not getting enough payoff for the effort you put into it, keep reading. The Art of Unit Testing, Second Edition guides you step by step from writing your first simple unit tests to building complete test sets that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. You'll move quickly to more complicated subjects like mocks and stubs, while learning to use isolation (mocking) frameworks like Moq, FakeItEasy, and Typemock Isolator. You'll explore test patterns and organization, refactor code applications, and learn how to test "untestable" code. Along the way, you'll learn about integration testing and techniques for testing with databases. The examples in the book use C#, but will benefit anyone using a statically typed language such as Java or C++. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. What's Inside Create readable, maintainable, trustworthy tests Fakes, stubs, mock objects, and isolation (mocking) frameworks Simple dependency injection techniques Refactoring legacy code About the Author Roy Osherove has been coding for over 15 years, and he consults and trains teams worldwide on the gentle art of unit testing and test-driven development. His blog is at ArtOfUnitTesting.com. Table of Contents PART 1 GETTING STARTED The basics of unit testing A first unit test PART 2 CORE TECHNIQUES Using stubs to break dependencies Interaction testing using mock objects Isolation (mocking) frameworks Digging deeper into isolation frameworks PART 3 THE TEST CODE Test hierarchies and organization The pillars of good unit tests PART 4 DESIGN AND PROCESS Integrating unit testing into the organization Working with legacy code Design and testability

16 faults would be detected except under very exceptional circumstances, such as a random block of memory containing a particular string, so the hypothesis is said to 'almost hold' for 60 faults. If a very weak sufficiency condition with local scope is added, the hypothesis almost holds for 70. If, further, complete branch coverage is required, 86 faults would be detected. Of the remaining 14 faults, 6 would be detected by test cases likely to be developed from the specification, using standard techniques like equivalence class testing."

From a leading expositor of testing methods, a practical, comprehensive, hands-on guide to the state-of-the-art black-box testing techniques This book fills a long-standing need in the software and general systems development communities to make the essential aspects of black-box testing available in one comprehensive work. Written by one of the world's most respected figures in the field of testing, it is both a valuable working resource for independent testers and programmers and an excellent practical introduction for students. Dr. Boris Beizer clearly explains the principles behind behavioral testing in general and behind the most important black-box testing techniques in use today, which involve testing a system based on its desired behavior or function and for conformance to its specifications. Then, with fully worked examples, he leads you step-by-step from specifications to finished test cases. Complete coverage of all important test techniquesæincluding those that apply to object-oriented software * Up-to-dateæincluding the most recent breakthroughs in domain testing that now make this technique available to the working tester with no tools needed beyond a calculator or spreadsheet * Examples based on the popular off-the-shelf tax preparation packages let you try the techniques on your favorite tax software * Includes all necessary IRS tax forms * Self-evaluation quizzes help you evaluate your understanding of the material

Every engineering field is founded on a body of fundamental scientific and mathematical principles providing a basis for the design process and enabling designers to systematically validate the major characteristics of a proposed system. In recent years, computing science has generated a similar body of principles allowing software engineers to design error-free programs. This book presents this core of knowledge. The concepts covered are based on the view that a variable is a triple of a name, a set, and an element of that set (a value); that a data environment (the execution) of a program is a sequence of variables; and that a statement, subprogram, or program serves to map a data environment into another data environment. While the material is treated in a mathematically rigorous fashion, it is carefully written to show software developers how to apply theory to practical design tasks.
