Securing the AI software supply chain: Security results across 67 open source projects The GitHub Secure Open Source Fund helped 67 critical AI‑stack projects accelerate fixes, strengthen ecosystems, and advance open source resilience.

github.blog/open-source/...

AssertJ quote from the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund: "We shifted security from a stretch goal to a core requirement."

📢 AssertJ joined the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, a program that leveled up security across 67 open source projects.

What changed for us: SHA pinning, immutable releases, incident response plan, and a mindset shift toward security awareness 🔒

The impact? More robust JVM assertions 🚀

Today's the day! Happy to share what I've been working on with Benedikt and Jendrik. Let us know if you are interested in participating in the private beta or have any questions! #TestLens

Support JUnit JUnit is maintained by a team of passionate volunteers. This is your chance to give back and support the project!

JUnit is undoubtedly one of the most important projects in the #Java ecosystem. And it's 100% free and open!

Let me be frank: If we can't get THIS project to the point where a single maintainer can focus on it, then what does that say about our commitment to Free & Open Source Software?

Sur le blog de #norsys, mon collègue Kelean vient de publier un billet qui présente @assertj.github.io et comment le mettre à profit pour améliorer ses tests unitaires.

"Nobody stops in to check on you. They check on the project. There’s also nobody standing up and saying, ‘hey, thank you for the good work you’re doing to remediate this issue.’"

The harsh truth: maintainers give their spare time, yet positive feedback is rare.

Appreciate who is behind the code. 💛

Should AssertJ be on Gitter? · assertj · Discussion #3855 Sometimes, users and contributors would like to engage more interactively with both maintainers and the rest of the community, and communicating via GitHub might feel intimidating.

Should we establish a dedicated space for the AssertJ community on Gitter?

FYI, if you need to compare 2 objects in a #java test, do not manually compare all fields by calling the getters. Instead, do it with 1 line of AssertJ:
