Overview

Reviews

JUnit 5 is a standard framework for unit testing in Java. Released in 2017, JUnit 5 is a major improvement over JUnit 4 and supports a lot of new methods. Many projects have migrated from JUnit 4 to JUnit 5. JUnit 5 is also the default test framework for new projects. JUnit 5 is composed of three sub-projects: JUnit Platform, JUnit Jupiter, and JUnit Vintage. Details of these sub-projects are discussed in the course. This course first discusses the advantages of JUnit 5 over the previous versions and then jumps directly into tests. The course includes discussion on assertions, assumptions, tagging and filtering, nested tests, dependency injection, repeated tests, parameterized tests, dynamic tests, test instance lifecycle, extension model, JUnit 4 migration, JUnit platform, and test execution order. By the end of this course, you’ll be deeply familiar with unit testing in JUnit 5. There’s also a little project for you at the end to put your newly acquired skills to the test.
