There are many, many examples of good tests out there in open source projects, although it's more a matter of finding ones in a style that are relevant to you. Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests[1] and The Cucumber Book[2] both contain excellent principles. After that you can just find some developers whose work you regard of high quality and see if their tests make useful examples. (You can write high quality software without tests, but if the software is poor, the tests are unlikely to be worth looking at.)
