New book: Mockito

I'm really excited...feel like a kid on xmas day. I received a copy of the book, Practical Unit Testing with TestNG and Mockito.  The important element is Mockito.

In software engineering, continuous integration (CI) implements continuous processes of applying quality control — small pieces of effort, applied frequently. Continuous integration aims to improve the quality of software, and to reduce the time taken to deliver it, by replacing the traditional practice of applying quality control after completing all development. - Source: Wikipedia Build Software At Every Change Automate [...]
