Check out these sources to get an understanding of the role of unit testing in delivering high-quality software:
- Read the Wikipedia Unit test page and learn how to write unit tests on fragile code.
- Read Tim Ottinger & Jeff Langr's FIRST principles of unit tests (Fast, Isolated, Repeatable, Self-validating, Timely) to learn about some common properties of good unit tests.
- Read Bas Dijkstra's Why I think unit testing is the basis of any solid automation strategy article to understand how a good foundation of unit tests helps you with your automation strategy.
- Read Martin Fowler's UnitTest to learn about some different opinions as to what constitutes a "unit".
- Read the short article 100 Percent Unit Test Coverage Is Not Enough by John Ruberto as a cautionary tale about focusing on test coverage over test quality.
