Bad Tests, Good Tests

More about the book

Nowadays developers are expected to provide code verified by automated tests. And this is good.The tests you write should verify some important parts of the system. They should exercise all important cases and document the way your software works. Your tests are also expected to survive refactorings, and even redesigns, of the system.Unfortunately, not all of the tests we write live up to these expectations. This book provides numerous examples of improvements you can introduce to make your tests stronger, more readable, and more resilient to changes. You will learn about real-life issues, and discover ways of overcoming them. You will get to know new techniques for writing high-quality tests.The goal of this book is to teach you how to write tests in such a way that all the effort you put into them really pays off!
