Hi,
Great work! I used TDD and TestNG for several years for now and your book gave me a very good recap and introduced me some tools that I had no time to get acquainted with. With good illustrative examples. Also, many very practical problems are addressed that I haven't found in other books (or don't remember =)). Narration is clean and many things are explained very simply and clearly that is certainly a good thing!
On the downside I can mention only that examples are disconnected and doesn't give a whole thing. Though, the only book on the topic where I stumbled upon a comprehensive, real end to end example was Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests; you also cited it. I think this is because you consciously limited book to unit testing. So it is probably not much of the downside) Another thing is completely technical - I do not see images in chapter 8. I checked that in Nuance PDF Reader and PDF X-Change Viewer. Not a big problem, really, still they should better be there)
Thank you for a excellent book on unit testing with TestNG and Mockito, I'm a great fan of them =)

Hi Roman,
thank you for this review. I think you got it right. My idea was NOT
to repeat what GOOS (probably the best book about writing testable
software) already did. I don't think I could provide more value then
they do! The focus of my book is on unit tests, and yes, this leaves
some questions unanswered.
Regarding the chapter 8 images, thanks for letting me know. My
apologies! I've already uploaded the fixed version. If you are
interested I would be happy to provide you with this latest e-book.
