Hi, Just heard a lot of nice things about kotest. Never used it before though. I read about it in the scope of Assertions, but from reading the documentation it sounds like a separate test framework.

So is it used instead of Junit5 or together with that?

It’s a JUnit5 engine for tests discovery and structuring the tests, but comes with a rich set of assertions in a separate artifact

So you can choose to write Kotest spec-style tests but still use e.g. AssertJ, you can write regular JUnit(4/5) tests but use Kotest’s assertions, and you can of course use both

ah super cool, thanks 🙂
