ServletTestHelper for the Time Poor
I've recently been bashing my head against the bug bear of most open source projects: lack of suitable documentation. The culprit was the MockObject class, ServletTestHelper. Checking the Mock Object home page didn't reveal anything of substance, ditto for a Google search.
I'd been itching to use ServletTestHelper since having considerable fun with it's little brother, TagTestHelper, and eventually managed to bend it to support my needs, although it took debugging into the source code in some instances.
In an effort to save some other poor sod needlessly expending the same amount of energy and time, I've created a brief article detailing the main use cases for ServletTestHelper. I haven't to covered Mock Objects or general testing design philosophies (by definition, the time poor have no time for such things) and tried to cut to the chase to get people producing tests as quickly as possible.
I hope people find some value in this.
