Greetings Mssrs Thomas & Hunt, How does Pragmatic Unit Testing compare to TDD By Example (Beck), TDD: A Practical Guide (Astels), Unit Testing in Java, and/or TDD in Microsoft .NET (Newkirk)? As I think you mentioned, the stuff in this book could be applied to any language, so perhaps you're not directly competing with the latter two, which are very language specific... -Jeff

I don't think we compete directly: our target is somewhat different. We're not out to make converts or sell a philosophy. Instead, what we do is present a simple set of (what we consider to be) best practices for Unit Testing. The book came about because we find a lot of teams out there who do no unit testing. Some have tried it, and found it too difficult. Others don't know where to start. So our book is a step by step how-to book: this is how to test, and this is what to test. It isn't our intention to compete with other books. Our aim is to get people testing. Cheers Dave

Looking at the table of contents, it seems like a nice, brief book, one that the average developer might actually bother to read (especially if handed out to everyone on the team). -Jeff-
