Beyond JUnit
Most developers are familiar with the JUnit testing framework. Frequently other open source testing projects are involved along with JUnit, such as the Hamcrest Matchers for code simplification and Mockito for creating mocks and stubs. This talk will review the major features of both. Also included will be a discussion of the new API in JUnit 5, as the framework is completely rewritten to support new features.
JUnit is still the unit testing framework of choice in the Java world. You can do more than write simple tests, however. Enforcing timeouts, imposing ordering on tests, parameterizing tests, establishing rules, and more are already available, and each is extended in the new JUnit 5 API.
