"This is an in-depth study with solid theory and plenty
of examples, including sample code in C++. From cover to cover, this book
is filled with well honed techniques and best practices. This book is well
worth the time I have invested in it. I return to it often, each time gleaning
new understanding."

"Well-written prose flows and at no point did I feel
the somnambulistic effects of traditional turgid technical text. ... This
is an excellent testing book, but it is also an excellent object-oriented
book and any tester without much OO design/coding/testing experience can
learn a lot."

Review (UK) |
| "The steps needed for building rigorous test patterns
for reliable systems are explained clearly. The discussion of the role of
decision tables and state machines and their importance for modeling responsibility
test cases is interesting and quite useful. ... I can only commend the author
on an excellent addition to the literature on the applications of testing
to object-oriented systems. I can fully recommend this book to professionals,
faculty and students in the field, and others who are interested in systems
and software engineering." |

If you are testing object oriented code I don't think you'll find a better
book than the Binder book already recommended, "Testing Object Oriented
Systems". I know several very experienced OO software developers who
have found it to be helpful reference in designing unit tests. He provides
practical testing patterns and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of
various testing approaches. |

| "While this book is very broad in scope, it is deep enough
to be considered a reference in some respects. Binder is thorough and does
not skim lightly over topics. He strives for clarity and true software engineering
rigor in his explanations and his practical testing guidelines. But his
style is not overly formal, and the book is peppered with diagrams, charts,
and small snippets of code (often Java), making it easy to follow." |

5 stars." |

"Weighing in at four and one-half pounds, Robert Binder's
1100 page book Testing Object Oriented Systems is the biggest book ever
written on this subject. It is also the best! "
