Renovate is a super useful open-source tool that automatically keeps your project’s dependencies up to date (see also STF milestone 1).

A single required status check for GitHub Actions workflows.

Thanks to the Sovereign Tech Fund (STF), I was able to work full-time on JUnit for about 16 months in 2024 and 2025.

JUnit has long been publishing its User Guide and API documentation for every release on junit.org.

Since its introduction in JUnit 5.3, parallel test execution has become a popular feature of the JUnit Platform.

Prior to this milestone, the JUnit Platform provided no safe way to cancel test execution early, e.g. after the first test failed.

Kotlin is a highly popular language for JVM applications (and beyond).

This milestone was all about finally resolving issue #242 by introducing an error handling mechanism for test discovery.

In version 5.0, JUnit Jupiter introduced support for parameterizing test methods.

A major goal of the Sovereign Tech Fund’s investment is to help projects become more sustainable and decrease their truck factor.
