Kent Beck, Test-Driven Development: By Example. This remains the classic introductory text on test-driven development, although it predates the Mockist/London school approach to design, and so it shows only the Classicist/Detroit school approach. I don't consider this a deficiency, but rather an accident of history. It's where I learned things like "Fake It 'til You Make It", "Triangulation", and the "Log String", which eventually evolved into stubs.

J. B. Rainsberger, "Demystifying the Dependency Inversion Principle". This article includes a video in which Corey Haines and I discuss removing duplication between the production code and tests by moving the details from the production code into the tests.
