More than five years have passed since the initial release of JUnit 5 in 2017. But the JUnit team hasn’t ceased working since then. On the contrary, there have been 9 additional 5.x releases. After a concise introduction, we’ll take a closer look at the latest new features such as:

• declarative test suites
• custom JFR events
• new extension points
• improved support for temporary directories
• test method/class execution order
• the new XML reporting format.

Since the JUnit team is meeting in Zurich this week, Christian, Juliette, Marc, Matthias, and Sam will all be there and are looking forward to your questions and feedback. Feel free to ask us anything!
