Java Testing Patterns

Description:

* Focuses on software testing, which is one of the most important-and often the most overlooked-aspects of software development
* First book that demonstrates how to apply both existing and new design patterns to the job of testing Java software
* Explains how applying proven patterns to the testing of software can help ensure that applications function correctly and more efficiently, and are easier to maintain
* Patterns will be extensively reviewed online to ensure community support and endorsement
* Covers detailed patterns for unit, functional, database, and application deployment testing
* Provides complete Java code that applies each pattern to a real-world sample application
* Companion Web site provides code for Java pattern implementations, plus code for the sample applications and test suites
