JUnit 5's Best Features

Track: Frameworks

Abstract

The team that rewrote JUnit in version 5 did a fantastic job improving the platform while maintaining backward compatibility. Many Java developers don't realize how many new cool capabilities have been added to the framework since the initial 5.0 release. This talk will cover topics like the set of useful functional interfaces available, how to do parameterized tests with various sources, lazy loading of error messages, and more.
