For more general introductions to unit testing, the email recommends:

[1] "xUnit Test Patterns: Refactoring Test Code" by Gerard Meszaros.
    book:    http://www.amazon.com/dp/0131495054
    wbesite: http://xunitpatterns.com/
    (the website is really good as it described many patterns
    introduced in the book)

[2] "Simple Smalltalk Testing: With Patterns" by Kent Beck.
    link: http://www.xprogramming.com/testfram.htm

[3] "JUnit Test Infected: Programmers Love Writing Tests" by Eric Gamma and
    Kent Beck
    link: http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/testinfected/testing.htm
    (Excellent introduction to automated unit testing)
