Summary
This is an excellent book on TDD -- I think it's the best book on the subject. At first, I thought this book is going to be just a review of the commonly known practices: test-code-refactor. Not true! In this book, I learned a lot more about this practice (of course), but also about how to do other types of testing (servlet, db, jsp, swing, and more), and also about the different tools available for the task. I really liked the author's open, direct style of writing. Makes it an interesting and a worthwhile read.
