Dealing with dependencies is the most challenging aspect of test-driven development (TDD). Mocks and stubs are created to isolate the behavior we would like to test. The article “The Art of Mocking” is a good introduction on this topic. Creating all these testing classes by hand can lead to troubles: sometimes developers duplicate these classes and other times the mocks and stubs become more complicated than the code.

Inside Google, Javascript is the 4 largest language (in terms of lines of code) but one the fastest growing. Developing fast, robust and high quality Javascript is however a challenge within the industry. Unlike C++ or Java, the availability of high quality development, debugging and testing tools for Javascript is still lagging industry standards.
This is a brief video on how to use the JUnit open source unit testing framework for Java. By using JUnit, you can assert that methods in your Java code work as designed, without the need to set up the complete application.
