Migrating from TestNG to JUnit Jupiter

Migrating from TestNG to JUnit Jupiter

• Test classes should be annotated with @TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS) to align with TestNG semantics.
• @BeforeClass/@AfterClass methods should be annotated with @BeforeAll/@AfterAll.
• Tests using data providers should be converted to parameterized tests (@ParameterizedTest).
• The order of the expected and actual arguments to assertion methods such as assertEquals(...) need to be swapped so that the expected result precedes the actual result.
• Usage of expectThrows(...) should be changed to assertThrows(...).
• Tests that threw SkipException should make use of the the Assumptions API,
