Do you know of any good texts or articles that describe the "right" way to test?

I put myself in the category of mediocre test writer, because I do bump into the problem fairly regularly of having a lot of tests fail when I do a rewrite. I'd love to learn how to write better tests...and your last paragraph seems to scratch the surface of a superior approach.

The Google Testing Blog can be helpful:

Seconding this. I think the internal Google training materials were some of the best I've run across, and the Google Testing Blog is basically the public face of those.

Dive Into Python has a couple of good chapters on unit testing. Maybe you're looking for something more advanced though. If so, I think he gives some references for further reading.
