About the Author

Frank Appel is a stalwart of agile methods and test-driven development in particular. He has over 2 decades of experience as a freelancer and understands software development as a type of craftsmanship. Having adopted the test first approach over a decade ago, he applies unit testing to all kinds of Java-based systems and arbitrary team constellations. He serves as a mentor, provides training, and blogs about these topics at codeaffine.com.

I'd like to thank the reviewers, John Piasetzki, Stefan Birkner, and Jose Muanis Castro, and the editors, Sonali Vernekar, Merwyn D'souza, and Humera Shaikh, who spent time and effort to point out my errors, omissions, and sometimes unintelligible writing. In particular, I would like to thank my friend Holger Staudacher, who helped in the reviewing process of the book.

Thanks to all of you for your valuable input and support!
