Inspiration

Design Patterns Work on Test Patterns is still in its initial

phase

Introduction Unit testing evoke a strong reaction If the programmer writes bad code … Double edge sword

There is no formal unit test engineering discipline Design to be formalize before any code

Solution Formalization of unit testing by unit test patterns
