Introduction to TestNG, the next generation testing framework for developers

No one will argue that JUnit has positively affected the quality of thousands of Java applications around the world. JUnit’s simplicity and ease of use ushered in a whole new era of code quality; however, as many developers have found, its simplicity has also limited its use. TestNG was designed from the ground up to overcome some of JUnit’s limitations; moreover, TestNG’s features make it a great tool to complement your JUnit tests.

Taking Quality to the Next Level through Code Coverage Analytics

Understanding what code coverage represents, how to effectively apply it, and how to avoid its pitfalls will give you an unprecedented understanding of how unit tests may or may not be covering you from sneaky defects.

Using Code Metrics for Targeted Code Refactoring

The knowledge of how to effectively spot smelly code and replace it with proven patterns will ultimately lead to a more stable, maintainable and elegant code base.
