Acknowledgments About the Author Part I: Principles and Practices of Testing

Chapter 1. Engineering, Craftsmanship, and First-Time Quality

Engineering and Craftsmanship The Role of Craftsmanship in First-Time Quality Practices Supporting Software Craftsmanship Unit Testing under Code Checker Constraints Unit Testing for Coverage

Chapter 2. Intent of Code

Where Did I Put That Intent? Separating Intent from Implementation A Simple Example That Makes You Think

Chapter 3. Where Do I Start?

An Approach to Testing The Recipe

Chapter 4. Design and Testability

A Word on Design Paradigms Encapsulation and Observability Coupling and Testability

Chapter 5. Testing Principles

Craft Your Tests Well Avoid Test Code in Production Verify Intent over Implementation Minimize Coupling Prefer Minimal, Fresh, Transient Fixtures Use Available Facilities Prefer Complete over Partial Verification Write Small Tests Separate Your Concerns Use Unique Values Keep It Simple: Remove Code Don’t Test the Framework Sometimes Test the Framework

Part II: Testing and Testability Patterns

Chapter 6. The Basics

Bootstrapping Constructors Testing Simple Getters and Setters Share Constants Locally Redefine Temporarily Replace Encapsulate and Override Adjust Visibility Verification by Injection

Chapter 7. String Handling

Verification by Containment Verification by Pattern Exact Verification by Value Exact Verification with Formatted Results

Chapter 8. Encapsulation and Override Variations

Data Injection Encapsulate Loop Conditions Error Injection Replace Collaborators Use Existing No-Op Classes

Chapter 9. Adjusting Visibility

Packaging Tests with Code Break It Down Changing Access Levels Test-Only Interfaces Naming the Unnamed Becoming friend-ly Coerced Access via Reflection Declarative Scope Changing

Chapter 10. Interlude: Revisiting Intent

Testing the Singleton Pattern Singleton Intent The Testing Strategy Discerning Intent

Chapter 11. Error Condition Verification

Check the Return Value Verify the Exception Type Verify the Exception Message Verify the Exception Payload Verify the Exception Instance Thoughts on Exception Design

Chapter 12. Use Existing Seams

Direct Calls Dependency Injection Callbacks, Observers, Listeners, and Notifiers Registries Factories Logging and Other Facilities of Last Resort

Chapter 13. Parallelism

A Brief Introduction to Threads and Race Conditions A Strategy for Race Condition Reproduction Test the Thread Task Directly Synchronize through Common Lock Synchronize through Injection Use Supervisory Control Statistical Verification Debugger APIs

Part III: Worked Examples

Chapter 14. Test-Driven Java

Bootstrapping First Functionality Cutting the Cord Moving to Multiples Ghost Protocol Exercising Options Moving Downstream Retrospective

Chapter 15. Legacy JavaScript

Getting Started DOMination On Toothpaste and Testing Scaling Up Software Archeology Retrospective
