Testing Toolbox Book Cover

If All You Have Is a Hammer, 

Everything Looks Like a Nail.

The Java testing ecosystem is huge. Over the years, a lot of libraries have emerged, especially for niche areas. This book aims to cover all testing tools & libraries that should be part of your testing toolbox as a Java Developer. Each tool/library is present with a standardized approach:

Fact Sheet + Tool/Library Setup (Maven & Gradle) + Most Common Use Cases

The book follows the Pareto principle a showcases 20% of the features you use 80% of the time.

... there's more to testing Java applications than JUnit & Mockito:

Test Frameworks

Overview of the different Java test frameworks and how they emerged.

Assertion Libraries

Discover different assertion libraries for your test outcome and JSON and XML payloads.

Mocking Frameworks

There's more to mock than collaborators of your class under test.

Infrastructure Libraries

Start Docker containers for your tests, access and control browsers for your end-to-end tests, etc.

Utility

Different tools & libraries for various purposes: e.g. contract testing, AI-generated tests, etc.

Performance Testing

How does your application perform under load? Measure what matters with the right tools.
