Extreme Programming (XP), a methodology developed by Kent Beck and Eric Gamma, has joined CASE/UML as a core practice in professional software development. The central tools for XP (JUnit, Ant, Cactus, JMeter, HttpUnit) are now covered in a practical reference by Richard Hightower that explains how these open source tools should be integrated into a project to achieve XP's benefits.The book follows the construction of an online...

Great book for Ant, JUnit and Cactus -- Not an XP tutorial

This book describes the techniques for implementing the eXtreme Programming (XP) practices of automated testing and integration under the auspices of XP. This book is not meant as XP tutorial even though the book includes a good introduction to eXtreme Programming and the practices that make up XP. For the uninitiated, eXtreme Programming (XP) is a pragmatic approach to software development that emphasizes results first...

building, testing, and deploying J2EE applications

I find if you are doing J2EE development this book is a must-have! Even if you are not doing XP. Don't let the XP title turn you off from this book.At first glance at this book, I thought it was trying to be too many things to too many people. It seems to contain every buzzword: Opensource, Extreme Programming, Java, JSP, TagLibs, EJB, etc.However the book focuses on applying Ant, JUnit and Cactus to J2EE development. The...

Great book

This book does a great job of explaining how to use each of the tools but what I really appreciate is that it shows you how to use the tools together. For example, the Cactus chapter tells you how to use Cactus to do Mock Object (a new approach that extends the concepts of XP unit testing). Great! What makes the whole chapter really useful is that the code project in this chapter shows you how to use JUnit, Ant, and Cactus...

Great reference!

This a must-have reference for anyone seriously interested in XP and its application in the software industry. I found a lot of really good examples of how to do continous integration and automate testing. Most of the technologies covered are pretty new and have the big bonus of being open source! All in all, XP and Java are a very robust combination and this book is doing a good job of showing it.
