About the BookBrimming with over 100 "recipes" for getting down to business and actually doing Extreme Programming (XP), the Java Extreme Programming Cookbook doesn't try to "sell" you on XP; it succinctly documents the most important features of popular open source tools for XP in Java programming-- including Ant, Junit, HttpUnit, Cactus, Tomcat, XDoclet-- and then digs right in, providing recipes for implementing the tools in real-world environments. Each recipe offers solutions that help you put an extreme programming environment together: then provides code for automating the build process and testing. Although the time saved using any one of these solutions will more than pay for the book, Java Extreme Programming Cookbook offers more than just a collection of cut-and-paste code. Each recipe also includes explanations of how and why the approach works, so you can adapt the techniques to similar situations. About the ChaptersUnit testing is at the heart of XP, and it is a central theme of this book. JUnit, available from http://www.junit.org, is the de facto standard for Java unit testing. Chapter 4, " JUnit " takes you through the simple framework for creating automated unit tests. JUnit test cases are Java classes that contain one or more unit test methods, and these tests are grouped into test suites. You can run tests individually, or you can run entire test suites. Chapter 6, " Mock Objects " discusses how testing gets a whole lot more interesting for classes with complex dependencies on other parts of your application. It takes you through event listener testing, mock object self-validation, writing and testing JDBC code, generating mock objects w/ MockMaker and much more.
