Useful Libraries

Not all tools are stand-alone—many, covered in this section, come in the form of libraries that we need to link with our own code.

Testing

The last few years have seen an explosion in the number of test frameworks, many of which are based upon the seminal JUnit. There’s no way that I can begin to cover them all here, so I will restrict myself to referencing the “big two” in the Java community:
