Test-Driven Java Development: Invoke TDD principles for end-to-end application development with Java
Invoke TDD principles for end-to-end application development with Java
About This BookExplore the most popular TDD tools and frameworks and become more proficient in building applicationsCreate applications with better code design, fewer bugs, and higher test coverage, enabling you to get them to market quicklyImplement test-driven programming methods into your development workflowsWho This Book Is ForIf you’re an experienced Java developer and want to implement more effective methods of programming systems and applications, then this book is for you.
What You Will LearnExplore the tools and frameworks required for effective TDD developmentPerform the Red-Green-Refactor process efficiently, the pillar around which all other TDD procedures are basedMaster effective unit testing in isolation from the rest of your codeDesign simple and easily maintainable codes by implementing different techniquesUse mocking frameworks and techniques to easily write and quickly execute testsDevelop an application to implement behaviour-driven development in conjunction with unit testingEnable and disable features using Feature TogglesIn DetailTest-driven development (TDD) is a development approach that relies on a test-first procedure that emphasises writing a test before writing the necessary code, and then refactoring the code to optimize it.
The value of performing TDD with Java, one of the most established programming languages, is to improve the productivity of programmers, the maintainability and performance of code, and develop a deeper understanding of the language and how to employ it effectively.
Starting with the basics of TDD and reasons why its adoption is beneficial, this book will take you from the first steps of TDD with Java until you are confident enough to embrace the practice in your day-to-day routine.
You’ll be guided through setting up tools, frameworks, and the environment you need, and will dive right in to hands-on exercises with the goal of mastering one practice, tool, or framework at a time. You’ll learn about the Red-Green-Refactor procedure, how to write unit tests, and how to use them as executable documentation.
With this book you’ll also discover how to design simple and easily maintainable code, work with mocks, utilise behaviour-driven development, refactor old legacy code, and release a half-finished feature to production with feature toggles.
You will finish this book with a deep understanding of the test-driven development methodology and the confidence to apply it to application programming with Java.
Style and approachAn easy-to-follow, hands-on guide to building applications through effective coding practices. This book covers practical examples by introducing different problems, each one designed as a learning exercise to help you understand each aspect of TDD.

This is an excellent book to start learning about Test driven developpement in Java. In each chapter, the author defines a practical use case, with detailed specifications. Then, he writes, step by step, tests, code implementations, and refactorings.
Authors go through the most used test APIs and compares them (with practice). If you are a beginner Java programmer, this book is for you. You will learn too many technologies about testing, and developpement tools.
In addition, this book introduces practical use of Vagrant, Docker and Mongodb.

Pretty good introduction to TDD and a briefly introduction to BDD, CI as well.
I like the idea, to try some unit test framework and pick what fits for you.
I'll definitely recommend this book for my colleagues.

Very good book, but in the part of the legacy code there are many detours.

Very useful and deep exploration into the dark art of TDD

Nice way of explaining TDD. There is a lot of examples but I would like to see even more coding and more complicated cases.

I would not say that the book has any remarkable content. Actually it might be even useless for experienced Java programmers. However I gave it a good ratting because it does a single job really well: covering all the basics of testing Java applications.
Although it might be lacking depth for a person wanting to learn TDD, if you already work this way within another language and now want to learn how it is done in Java, this book will be excellent.

This is a great introduction to TDD, covering tdd (and) bdd basics, tools and best practices, giving you a hands-on experience with unit, acceptance and integration testing.
If you're unsure whether you need to switch to tdd, then read introduction and conclusion chapters to understand the problem and get summary of how it can be resolved.
