java.net: Testing Java in an Object-Oriented Way
This article introduces a list of object-oriented testing methodologies to test your Java programs, implementing a few important design patterns, using the JUnit testing framework.This article on testing is a little thin on concrete examples, but conceptually I can’t argue with it. Introducing testing on an architectural level is a brilliant idea.
Basic test driven development makes it very obvious when we’ve gone off the rails… if it is hard to test, then there is usually something wrong with my implementation or design. I expect that introducing the same concepts at the architectural level will have a similar effect.
