This expanded edition teaches you to write unit tests for async and observable code, as well as methods of faking functions, modules and refactorings. You'll explore test patterns and organization, working with legacy code, and even "untestable" code. The many tool-agnostic examples are presented in JavaScript, and are carefully designed so that they apply to code written in any language. about the technology Unit testing is a universally-adopted practice on dev teams of all sizes. Great developers will tell you that testing is as much a state of mind as a collection of tools and practices.
The Art of Unit Testing, Third Edition takes you below the surface and understand how unit testing can transform the way you deliver and maintain software. Now with examples in JavaScript, this new edition has been updated to reflect the characteristics of a modern codebase, including async and modularized, distributed services. The practices and patterns you'll learn can also be easily applied to other languages, including C#, Java, and Python. about the book

Trade Review"A book that is seeing a third release must be awesome and this book certainly is." - Sander Zegveld
"A didactic and entertaining approach to learning the intricacies of unit testing. Gives the the reader a solid mental framework to work with." - Adriaan Beiertz
"Previous editions of the book were widely regarded as one of the best books in Unit Testing. The decision to update it to include examples in JavaScript (according to most surveys, the most used programming language in the world) is a smart move, making the book more directly applicable to most programmers, regardless of their server-side stack." - Jaume Lopez
"This book is a must read, for any one who would like to be a better javascript developer or wants to start integrating Unit-Tests into their development process. It is a great balance between technical background and hand on examples." - Charles Lam
