JUnit 5: New Opportunities for Testing on the JVM
summary
Overview of JUnit 5’s actual deliverables: a rewritten, modular test platform with modular Platform + Jupiter + Vintage that adds a launcher and test engine API, a Jupiter programming model and an adapter for JUnit 4. It demonstrates concrete features: parameter resolver DI for constructors and methods, tagging and custom display names (emoji works in reports), parameterized/repeated/dynamic tests, interface default method tests, and an extension model. Live demos show assertThrows, lambda assertions and the difference between preemptive vs non‑preemptive timeouts, plus working Gradle/Maven/IDE and Spring Framework 5 integrations.
