Not all features are supported for all test frameworks, and the following table gives a brief overview of support status:
Feature | JUnit3 | JUnit4 | JUnit47 | TestNG | POJO | JUnit 5 Platform |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
groups/category/tags support | N | N | Y | Y | N | Y |
security manager support | Y | N | N | N | N | N |
runOrder support | Y | Y | Y | ? | Y | N |
run >1 individual test method in a class | N | Y | Y | Y | N | ?(*1) |
parallel support | N | N | Y | Y | N | N |
Legend: "Y" means supported, "N" means not supported. "?" means not tested.
If you would like to implement support for a given provider with an "N" or a "?" (or create tests for it), you should create a patch and mark the issue as an improvement. If there is something wrong with an implementation marked with "Y" that is considered a bug.
(*1) The JUnit 5 Platform supports running multiple individual test methods in a single class, but there are some corner cases that are not supported, yet: junit-team/junit5#1343 and junit-team/junit5#1406).
