New blog post: "STF Milestone 3: Release verification and automation"

A major goal of the @sovtechfund is to help projects become more sustainable and decrease their truck factor. For #JUnit, one activity in desperate need of improvement in this area was performing a release. Prior to this milestone, all JUnit releases of the past years had been performed from my local computer. It was high time to change that!

[Перевод] Сравнение SpringRunner со SpringExtension и @SpringBootTest

Команда Spring АйО перевела статью о том, как и когда использовать SpringRunner , SpringExtension и @SpringBootTest , когда их целесообразно комбинировать и как правильное понимание этих компонентов может помочь сделать тесты проще, быстрее и более узконаправленными.

[Перевод] За каким чертом нам SpringExtension?

Новый перевод от команды Spring АйО расскажет вам, что такое SpringExtension , как правильно пользоваться этим расширением и когда его надо (или не надо) регистрировать вручную.

New blog post: "STF Milestone 9: Jupiter extension improvements"

Resolving a long-standing issue in JUnit Jupiter's extension API

https://marcphilipp.de/blog/2025/01/27/stf-milestone-9-jupiter-extension-improvements/

FYI: We (the JUnit Team) are planning on #JUnit 6 with a #Java 17 baseline, hopefully to be released in the Fall of 2025.

https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/issues/4246

Time to celebrate! Just wrapped up my Java project for MD CODI with a grade of 1.1 Hard work pays off! #Java #Swing #Gradle #Maven #Groovy #Kotlin #JUnit #Mockito #CleanCoding #MDCODI #EuroFH

With modern distributed applications where communication and integration via #API is essential, simple unit tests most developers are familiar with (mostly #JUnit for #Java / #Kotlin developers) are not enough. We need integration tests.

I learned about the Karate framework from the Andres Sacco's talk.

I was curious to find out more, so I asked Andres to do an interview with me to discuss the topic in a broader context.
