The 5th major version of the programmer-friendly testing framework for Java and the JVM. JUnit 5 is the next generation of JUnit. The goal is to create an up-to-date foundation for developer-side testing on the JVM. This includes focusing on Java 8 and above, as well as enabling many different styles of testing. Official CI build server for JUnit 5. Used to perform quick checks on submitted pull requests and for build matrices including the latest released OpenJDK and early access builds of the next OpenJDK. The JUnit Platform serves as a foundation for launching testing frameworks on the JVM. It also defines the TestEngine API for developing a testing framework that runs on the platform. Furthermore, the platform provides a Console Launcher to launch the platform from the command line and the JUnit Platform Suite Engine for running a custom test suite using one or more test engines on the platform. First-class support for the JUnit Platform also exists in popular IDEs.
