This week, I’m very happy to break the news that Packt Publishing has come out with a JUnit book release, fresh from the press. The title Testing with JUnit, which I had the privilege of writing, is now available in the bookstores. It has been quite some work, but I think it was worth the effort and I hope you are going to like the result as much as I do. The book benefits from the JUnit in a Nutshell mini-series I have written last year, but covers all topics more substantially and refines several concepts.

Testing with JUnit

No matter what your specific background as a Java developer, whether you’re simply interested in building up a safety net to reduce regressions of your desktop application or in improving your server-side reliability based on robust and reusable components, unit testing is the way to go. Hence, I happily agreed, a couple of months ago, when I was asked to write a book on that topic.

Now that the result is available, I added a landing page to our website, where you can get more information on who this book is for and what the book is all about, and where we can provide latest news and supplementary information. As a special offer Packt Publishing provides a free sample of Chapter 6, Reducing Boilerplate with JUnit Rules for registered users.

Here is a list of links to the book in its major distribution channels:

• Amazon.co.uk
• Amazon.com
• Amazon.de
• Packtpub

In addition, I have created a GitHub repository containing the book’s complete source code examples at https://github.com/fappel/Testing-with-JUnit. This allows you to comprehend the various aspects of JUnit testing from within a more complex development context and facilitates an exchange of ideas using the repository’s issue tracker.

Last but not least, the sample application bears a few side topics that were out of the book’s scope. I will use this as an opportunity to write one or two posts covering these subjects, starting with an article on how to write Git integration tests efficiently using JUnit Rules.

So, stay tuned and please do not forget to share the news on your preferred social media channel, many thanks! ;-)
