Testing with Spring, AOT, GraalVM, and JUnit 5

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Covers concrete upgrades in JUnit 5.9–5.10 and planned 5.11, Spring Framework 6.0/6.1 test features, and practical AOT + GraalVM workflows: Maven runs process-test-aot to generate artifacts under target/spring-aot, then tests run on JVM AOT with spring.aot.enabled=true or are packaged into a native image that executes the JUnit platform and tests in milliseconds. Shows how to map test classes to generated context initializers, add runtime hints for missing reflection, and debug AOT-initialized application contexts inside an IDE.
