   Great advice. I follow it in my coding efforts and it has never failed me. Great book about this: Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns, Vladimir Khorikov, 2020

   For Elixir Dave Thomas has a video series https://codestool.coding-gnome.com/courses/elixir-for-progra...

   For a general programming book I recommend Unit Testing by Vladimir Khorikov https://www.manning.com/books/unit-testing which was recommended by Saša Jurić

   This rule is also recommended by section 9.2.4. "Only mock types that you own" of 2020 book by Vladimir Khorikov: "Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns".

   Worth noting is that book also says in 9.2.1: "Mocks are for integration tests only". I agree.

   In my opinion this book is the best comprehensive take on testing I ever encountered.

   This article espouses what is known as "classicist testing" school of thought and rejects "mockist/London-style testing". I wholeheartedly agree with it. I have been championing it in my team of 20+ devs since many years now, to great effect. You can read more about it in the excellent book by Vladimir Khorikov from January 2020 titled "Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns".

   The four quadrants of code types as shown in the article also appear as Figure 7.1 in an excellent book on testing: Unit Testing Principles, Practices, and Patterns, by Vladimir Khorikov, January 2020. https://www.manning.com/books/unit-testing
