2. Assumptions in JUnit 5

JUnit Jupiter comes with a subset of the assumption methods that JUnit 4 provides. JUnit Jupiter also adds a few assumption methods that lend themselves well to being used with Java 8 lambdas. All JUnit Jupiter assumptions are static methods in the org.junit.jupiter.api.Assumptions class. The message parameter is on the last position.

The assertions are executed only in case that the assumption is fulfilled.

The method looks like this:

A comparison between assertions in JUnit 4 and JUnit 5 looks like this:

This is how the usage of the assume methods may look like:

Conclusions

JUnit 5 comes with a new and flexible API for assertions and assumptions. I provides a lot of static methods and adapted to the capabilities of the functional programming introduces with Java 8. The reader should have a good image of the new features and, from here, new steps can be made in the search of what JUnit 5 can provide. From what this article does not analyze, dynamic and parameterized tests may be the next logical areas to investigate.
