Junit - 5

[Rajath-rs]

Hello Everyone,
I am a final-year engineering student, and I am interested in learning JUnit 5 at the application/advance level. So, which resources can I refer to?

@Rajath-rs Welcome!

I'm not sure how much experience you have. Have you used JUnit 4 or any other Java/JVM testing frameworks before? If so, the JUnit User Guide is a great place to start.

Otherwise, if you're new to testing generally, then give https://www.baeldung.com/junit-5 a try. It may assume that you know how to use Maven or Gradle or how to run JUnit tests in your IDE/code editor of choice - lots of coding concepts are intertwined like this, sadly - so if these are new to you, try looking through the user guide or use StackOverflow/Google/ChatGPT, and if all else fails, come back here.

Anyway, I hope this helps! If this doesn't answer your question or if you're still confused, please let us know and we'll point you in the right direction. 😁

I fixed a silly typo in my last message: "Bernie" -> "before". 😉

Alternatively, you mentioned that you're a student and that you want to learn JUnit at an application/advanced level. Do you know what sort of application you want to make: a JavaFX/Swing desktop app, CLI tool, web application or backend API? Each of these types of projects have their own unique ways of testing, so we can give you more tailored advice accordingly.

And if you're in a computer science or software engineering course, ask your lecturer or fellow students for help. In my experience, it's easier to learn from someone face-to-face than from online guides, especially if you're new to things.
