This can create problems with the Law of Demeter. The system under test knows unnecessary much about the objects it is collaborating with.
Mobile devices are now one of the major market for software.

Unit testing seems to be the most natural way for programmers to test their own code. In this small blog post, Henrik Warne shares some of the issues that people have when they switch from manual testing to a unit testing framework like JUnit.
Software testing during the transition to Agile is not easy. This third part explains how your software quality assurance processes should change. It discusses how to cope with rapid development cycle and frequent code changes that are at the heart of the Agile approaches.
When you have a bug in your software, you cannot always just read the code to find the cause of the bug.
