Test quality that can be measure is something really valuable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best book on how to make software testable *by V***N on March 16, 2022* I have been doing unit and integration testing for about fifteen years, and I have read many books about testing using different languages. This book so far is the best. Most of the books gave simple examples like calculators or dependency injection. This book covered where and how to use each and design your code to be testable. That is very important since testable code requires a different structure or architecture. This book also covers dealing with mock, databases, external services. I think that there is so much information in this book that reading it once might not be enough, and I'm going to read it a second time and use it as a reference when I'm designing and writing my code to make writing unit tests better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great comparative analysis of unit testing approach, excellent vocabulary around unit test quality *by J***A on September 9, 2020* awesome:* amazing breakdown of the two schools of thought with unit testing (haven't seen this articulated well before)* succinct definition for pillars of unit testing, in the past I've seen descriptors -- like in Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests -- but this is a good categorization of what makes a good unit test* tackles some very relevant approaches to building services and how it impacts your unit testing strategies, layered architecture, domain-driven design, functional programming* novel and good name of "observable behavior" as what you want to testto improve:* the name of the pillar "resistance to refactoring" is not intuitive* while I personally agree with the pillar "resistance to refactoring" being very important, the argument and in-practice definition could be fleshed out quite a bit more. Part of the grey area, for me, is "observable behavior" not being defined better in practice. For example, I haven't been able to figure out when to stub vs when to verify for repository reads in my application services. It's not clear from the book or from its definition of "observable behavior", how to make your unit test resistant to refactoring. ## Frequently Bought Together - Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns: Effective testing styles, patterns, and reliable automation for unit testing, mocking, and integration testing with examples in C# - Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Fowler)) - Test Driven Development: By Example --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/207848631-unit-testing-principles-practices-and-patterns-effective-testing-styles-patterns](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/207848631-unit-testing-principles-practices-and-patterns-effective-testing-styles-patterns) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
