Enterprise Java developers must achieve broader, deeper test coverage, going beyond unit testing to implement functional and integration testing with systematic acceptance. Next Generation JavaTM Testing introduces breakthrough Java testing techniques and TestNG, a powerful open source Java testing platform. Cédric Beust, TestNG's creator, and leading Java developer Hani Suleiman, present powerful, flexible testing patterns that will work with virtually any testing tool, framework, or language. They show how to leverage key Java platform improvements designed to facilitate effective testing, such as dependency injection and mock objects. They also thoroughly introduce TestNG, demonstrating how it overcomes the limitations of older frameworks and enables new techniques, making it far easier to test today's complex software systems. Pragmatic and results-focused, Next Generation JavaTM Testing will help Java developers build more robust code for today's mission-critical environments. This book Illuminates the tradeoffs associated with testing, so you can make better decisions about what and how to test Introduces TestNG, explains its goals and features, and shows how to apply them in real-world environments Shows how to integrate TestNG with your existing code, development frameworks, and software libraries Demonstrates how to test crucial code features, such as encapsulation, state sharing, scopes, and thread safety Shows how to test application elements, including JavaEE APIs, databases, Web pages, and XML files Presents advanced techniques: testing partial failures, factories, dependent testing, remote invocation, cluster-based test farms, and more Walks through installing and using TestNG plug-ins for Eclipse, and IDEA Contains extensive code examples Whether you use TestNG, JUnit, or another testing framework, the testing design patterns presented in this book will show you how to improve your tests by giving you concrete advice on how to make your code and your design more testable.

This comprehensive work delivers 30 Open Source tools designed to improve the development practices of Java developers in any size team or organization.

Cohen presents the architectural choices required to build robust, Web-enabled applications in Java and the proper steps to optimize a system. His book explores J2EE and .NET interoperability issues as real-world case studies show practical techniques to make software projects reliable, scalable, and secure.

Gradle is the project automation tool that is taking the Java world by storm. This text shows you how to use Gradle for building and testing software written in Java and other JVM languages. It covers transitioning to Gradle from Maven, integration with IDEs such as Eclipse, and more.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Test and Proofs, TAP 2012, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in May/June 2012, as part of the TOOLS 2012 Federated Conferences. The 9 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers, 4 short papers and one tutorial were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The papers are devoted to the convergence of tests and proofs for developing novel techniques and application that support engineers in building secure, safe, and reliable systems. Among the topics covered are model-based testing; scenario-based testing; complex data structure generation; and the validation of protocols and libraries.

This classroom-tested new edition features expanded coverage of the basics and test automation frameworks, with new exercises and examples.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2009, held in York, UK, in March 2009, as part of ETAPS 2009, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 2 tool demonstrations were carefully reviewed and selected from 123 regluar and 9 tool paper submissions. The topics addressed are model-driven development, synthesis and adaptation, modeling, testing and debugging, model analysis, patterns, security, queries and error handling, and tools (demos) and program analysis.
