"Tests with Parameters" is the KISS approach to testing theories instead of samples. It sometimes is easier to state a tests for any parameters passed in instead of picking one combination and then the next, and the next, ... TwiP can do that for you.

Version 3.0 further reduces the test cruft by allowing you to collect several failing verifications instead of only the first failing assertion. Simply use "verifyThat" instead of "assertThat" and TwiP will throw one exception to JUnit with all the failing verifications at once... it's not "one assert per test", it's "one concept per test".

The tempus-fugit micro-library recently released its first version with a couple of neat JUnit integrations. The project is geared towards making concurrent and time sensitive systems more testable and captures common abstractions such as mocking time and waiting for asynchronous conditions. The test cases themselves make interesting reading.

JUnit 4.8.1 has been released, fixing major bugs in the documentation
and implementation of categories. Thanks to our users for being on
top of things.

We're anxious to see what the developer community can do with @Rules,
which are a powerful new mechanism for extending JUnit's behavior.

Share and Enjoy,

The commenting feature on the forums has been disabled for all users. This makes the forums pretty useless for getting answers to questions. Fortunately, there is a very active Yahoo group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/junit/. Please head over there to search for the answer to your question, or post a new question if your question hasn't been answered yet.

JUnit 4.6 is now released! There are a few bug fixes included, and
improvements to the core architecture that allow test reordering and
parallelization for basic JUnit 3 and basic JUnit 4 tests and suites.
For details, please see the release notes.
