I recently finished Effective Software Testing – A Developer’s Guide by Maurício Aniche , and I really liked it. I have been coding for a long time and I think I have been writing pretty good tests for the features I have implemented. The book apparently grew out of lecture notes from a course on software testing.

Automated tests are important. Unfortunately, many automated tests also waste a huge amount of time. The easy, obvious way to write tests is to make broad tests that are automated versions of manual tests. It’s also easy to make poor-quality tests that are hard to read, or end up only testing themselves.
