Latest Releases General Availability (GA): JUnit 6.1.2 (July 12, 2026) Preview (Milestone/Release Candidate): N/A Contributions to JUnit are both welcomed and appreciated. For specific guidelines regarding contributions, please see [CONTRIBUTING.md] in the root directory of the project. Those willing to use milestone or SNAPSHOT releases are encouraged to file feature requests and bug reports using the project's issue tracker. Issues marked with an up-for-grabs label are specifically targeted for community contributions. Official CI build that performs quick checks on submitted pull requests and runs build matrices for the latest release and early access versions of OpenJDK. Code coverage using [JaCoCo] for the latest build is available on [Codecov]. JUnit utilizes Develocity for Build Scans, Build Cache, and Predictive Test Selection. The latest Build Scans are available on ge.junit.org. Currently, only core team members can publish Build Scans on that server. You can, however, publish a Build Scan to scans.gradle.com by using the --scan parameter explicitly. The remote Build Cache is enabled by default for everyone so that local builds can reuse task outputs from previous CI builds. You need [JDK 25] to build JUnit. [Gradle toolchains] are used to detect and potentially download additional JDKs for compilation and test execution. Consult the [Dependency Metadata] section of the [User Guide] for a list of all artifacts of the JUnit Platform, JUnit Jupiter, and JUnit Vintage.

JUnit ist ein Framework zum Testen von Java-Programmen, das besonders für automatisierte Unit-Tests einzelner Units (Klassen oder Methoden) geeignet ist. Anfänglich wurde JUnit von Erich Gamma und Kent Beck entwickelt. Es basiert auf Konzepten, die ursprünglich unter dem Namen für Smalltalk entwickelt wurden. Mittlerweile existieren JUnit-ähnliche Frameworks auch für viele andere Programmiersprachen. Oft werden diese Programme unter dem Namen xUnit zusammengefasst.
