In this article, we focus on a few of the changes that I think are the most impactful to the day-to-day tasks of writing automated tests…
Iโm in the middle of several talks on JUnit 5, so itโs safe to say that JUnit has been on my mind lately. In the last article in this series, we covered how to use test interfaces to encourage good behavior.
