Why read it?

1 author picked Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There are literally dozens of good books on unit testing, but I highly recommend reading at least one. Unit testing is one of the most important practices that a great many programmers do not do. It isn’t easy, once you get past tiny programs, but it is absolutely essential if you wish to create robust code. Without unit testing you fix one thing over here, and break it over there. With good unit testing you know that your program will be flexible and easily evolved.

From Jesse's list on for creating great software.
