The Art of Unit Testing

I see you read Kent Beck's TDD book. A good follow-up might be Roy Osherove's "The Art of Unit Testing." I found it to have a lot of pragmatic, practical advice. It's not the final word, but it is a good next step after Kent Beck's book. It has some C#-specific material, but that stuff is interesting to read about even if you're working in other languages. Lot's good suggestions in this thread, here's one I didn't see: "Software Runaways - lessons learned from massive software project failures," by Robert L. Glass.

The Art of Unit Testing by Roy Osherove is indeed amazing. Thanks to it I now write much better unit tests, and as a result of removed frustration I do it much more often.

Software development related reads with a strong focus on proven practices that enhance software quality in terms of readability and maintainability (and other software ~ilities) to ease the process of changing the software later on.
