Unit testing is an important tool for the modern developer, and Java has an abundance of libraries that can help with the development of your tests cases (particularly JUnit, which I will discuss in detail in an upcoming follow-up to this article). Becoming familiar with them all is important because a majority of your projects will require you to use them. Unit tests are fairly easy to write and have very rapid performance, so it's not going to take you long to run them.
