- I am playing around with UCDetector, a cool plug-in for Java to get rid of unnecessary code. There are similar libraries out there but I find this particularly clean and easy to use.
- I am reading Practical Unit Testing with JUnit and Mockito, written by Polish developer Kaczanowski. It is a good book, even for those with some experience in Junit (and Mockito). After going through JUnit an Mockito’s basics and presenting a couple of other technologies, Kaczanowski goes deeper into the essence of mocks, stubs and test spies, about unit testing asynchronous code, testing collections and other details. He tackles the ways in which test feedback can best be organised and how to use tools for gathering statistics on unit tests. It is definitely a good reference even for advanced developers.
