Our monthly book-shipment just arrived and I am playing Santa Claus right now by handing out books to some eager colleagues. The list of titles we received this month includes:

Better Builds with Maven is written by Vincent Massol, Jason van Zyl and other key contributors of the Maven community and combines detailed explanations and code examples to walk you through improving your software development process with Maven 2.0.

The authors are very clear that unittesting improves the code, makes your live as a developer easier and supports a growing understanding of your application. They also make it clear that unittests must be considered as real code, so it must be subject to the same standards as your application code. (more…)
