A Patronizing Guide to What Makes a Good Unit Test

[Katherine Cox-Buday]

Thanks for this, Michael!

My goto talk on unit tests is one Misko Hevery gave 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEhu57pih5w> for Google back in 2008 
(32m long). Particularly interesting is the section at 7:27 
<https://youtu.be/wEhu57pih5w?t=447> where he talks about the different 
types of tests and why unit tests are the logical conclusion.

What I love most is it can be boiled down to 3 things to write testable 
code. Keep these 3 concerns separate:

 1. Instantiation
 2. Composition
 3. Business Logic
