My Blog:-D I definitely would cast my ONE vote that everyONE should read this book at least ONE time. Nice work, Mark. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: =============== Odd, the "About the Author" section seems to be missing the credit line that the Author doesn't personally know me... ;P

My BlogNice work, Mark. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: If I may... In my years with Apple's Integration Quality (IQ) Department, Unit (or "Component") Matrix Testing (UMT) was pivitol. IQ ensured all Apple Products were ready for Golden Master / ship status. Of dismay, some products at the time shipped sub-standard. (Not to brag ... OK, bragging ~ the product I was in charge of quality for, the Apple ColorOne Scanner, received the highest QA rating in Apple's then-history from independent testing labs!) I'm jazzed that the first headline in the book, other than "Chapter 1 Why Unit Test?" is "Measuring Correctness". That's the problem allot of testing has, that of the inability to to accurately measure correctness, especially in Unit Matrix Testing (UMT). We had reasonable solo Unit Testing, but there was an absence of measuring cross-unit correctness. That is, we'd measure units A, B & C and say "yup, it's all working", but we didn't measure A & B or A & C as a larger, or "complex"/matrix unit (that UMT noted earlier). OK, yes, with only 3 units we would measure across the matrix, but when it got beyond, say, 10 units, some products would have the next two headline of "Repetition, Repetition, Repetition" and "Code Coverage" skipped for sake of simplifying the overall process. Not good. Especially when a defect is manifested which results in a then $2.4 million ($5.06 million today) "fix-it" cost This actually did occur because a then-Product Manager chose to not include a critical UMT section I had wrote that revealed a defect in a related sister product and would've revealed such in their product; but shipped with the defect. UMT does, in and of itself, (if I may borrow from the book...) introduce cyclomatic unit complexity; a fancy way of saying that the individual units now have multiple points of interaction and integration. Testing instructions: Press the blue button, but first press the orange button. Button Blue and button Orange are units, doing something in and of themselves. When pressed independently, we have the basic raw solo unit test. When executed (pressed) in tandem or consecutively, these buttons (units) present the necessity of UMT, or "integration" testing (hence, the aforementioned QA dept. name of "Integration Quality"). Of course, it may not always be that they would be pressed in tandem or consecutive. Yet, without testing that integration outcome, we fail to "Measure [true] Correctness" and reveal potential defects

Congrats .. Happy to hear that. I downloaded the PDF version and had a look into. It's really nice and it's good for beginner level. For more advanced book I would recommend reading "The Art of Unit Testing" from Roy Osherove- http://www.manning.com/osherove2/[^] Here's the video - http://artofunittesting.com/[^] Thanks,

Hmm...I'd like to take a look, but I'm a little suspicious of a site that needs my phone number to let me download a file. :doh: (Never mind, they don't verify it so a fake number is fine.)
Use a number with a 555 area code and they'll think you're a movie star.

Why? It's a great way for them to build a good reputation with developers and drive them towards their paid services. I currently use their products and Mindscape's and I find them far superior to Infragistics. To a large extent, my involvement with them was driven directly off downloading their books.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

My BlogSounds interesting, but I don't want to give the SyncFusion sales people my contact info, especially since I don't have any purchasing authority. Perhaps it will be available from some other source soon.
