Description

I would like to propose an update of the JUnit version used by the framework from JUnit4 to JUnit5. Main driver besides a technology upgrade is the fact that certain testing apporaches likel e.g. Paramtereized Testing are miuch simpler in JUnit5 where JUnit4 only offers workarounds.

Also, Asserts in JUnit5 are better separated in order to allow own extensions.

A clear drawback is that the general approach to state asserts as well as test setup/teardown requires to rework all existing test case (ca 270 unit tests on the framework alone).
