In this language-independent overview, developer Hamill covers the usage, philosophy, and architecture of unit test frameworks with the idea that they are development tools like pre-processors and debuggers. He offers code examples in C++ and Java, starting with a tutorial and proceeding to examine the xUnit family, writing unit tests, GUI applications, JUnit, CppUnit, NUnit, PyUnit, XMLUnit, and related resources. The CD-ROM includes build directions and Makefile comments. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Unit test frameworks are a key element of popular development methodologies such as eXtreme Programming (XP) and Agile Development. But unit testing has moved far beyond eXtreme Programming; it is now common in many different types of application development. Unit tests help ensure low-level code correctness, reduce software development cycle time, improve developer productivity, and produce more robust software.
Until now, there was little documentation available on unit testing, and most sources addressed specific frameworks and specific languages, rather than explaining the use of unit testing as a language-independent, standalone development methodology. This invaluable new book covers the theory and background of unit test frameworks, offers step-by-step instruction in basic unit test development, provides useful code examples in both Java and C++, and includes details on some of the most commonly used frameworks today from the XUnit family, including JUnit for Java, CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET.
Unit Test Frameworks includes clear, concise, and detailed descriptions of:
- The theory and design of unit test frameworks
- Examples of unit tests and frameworks
- Different types of unit tests
- Popular unit test frameworks
- And more
It also includes the complete source code for CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET.
