If you want to use JUnit on a new project, this book tells you how to design easy-to-test applications, helping you avoid the design pitfalls of many legacy applications.

If you need to start testing an existing application, you will find recipes dedicated to testing even the most difficult-to-test legacy components, like EJBs and JDBC code.

The book also discusses many extensions to the JUnit framework, including JUnit-addons, HTMLUnit, XMLUnit, ServletUnit, DBUnit, JUnitX and EasyMock, choosing each to do the job it does best.

These recipes have been collected over the past several years from a variety of Java and J2EE projects, showing you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and why. Test-Driven Design and Agile Software Development practitioners will recognize much of the book?s advice as following the principles of simple, flexible, supple design.

A wonderful compendium of JUnit tips and tricks
J. B. Rainsbergers JUnit Recipes is a wonderful compendium of tips and tricks that can quickly take anyone from novice to expert at JUnit. The organization of the book should make it appealing to unit-testing programmers of all levels. Early chapters are highly introductory, covering the installation and first uses of JUnit. Later chapters cover testing of JDBC, Enterprise Java Beans, XML, and more.

JUnit Recipes includes the best discussions Ive read on how to test database applications and on the complicated art of managing test data. This is probably not a book you will read every chapter of. In my programming, for example, I dont use EJB so I only skimmed that chapter. But at over 700 pages is much more of an encyclopedia of wonderful testing techniques than a book that is meant to be read cover to cover. As its title implies, JUnit Recipes is a cookbook of ideas that will allow you to serve up better, and better-tested, applications.
