About the technology

JUnit is the gold standard for unit testing Java applications. JUnit 5 is a complete overhaul of this leading Java unit testing framework, boosting your productivity and helping to avoid debugging nightmares. Filled with new tools that make it easier than ever to write effective tests, JUnit 5 brings more granularity and avoids the need to import an entire library, allows multiple runners to work simultaneously and, best of all, allows developers to make full use of the new language features of Java 8 and beyond.
