I don't have time to look at your code now, but maybe someone will
pitch in, or I'll look in the morning. I also had trouble getting into
unit testing so I eventually bought a book and made a good study of
it.

I can recommend the book. Even though it covers C#, it's mostly generic info:

I love the pragmatic programmer books. Every time I buy one I'm
impressed. My all-time favourite one is "The Pragmatic Programmer:
Journeyman to Master". I think all programmers should read that book.
