Javadocs CI Status

jqwik

An alternative test engine for the JUnit 5 platform that focuses on Property-Based Testing.

See the jqwik website for further details and documentation.

Maintenance Mode

Currently, jqwik is in pure maintenance mode. That means, that as long as no further sponsoring or other funding shows up, no further feature development will take place - unless the jqwik team has some personal interest in such a feature.

What will happen, though, is a regular update of upstream dependencies - like the JUnit platform - and fixing crucial bugs. The triage of bugs into “crucial” and “non-crucial” is fully up to the jqwik team.
