We could add timeout as an attribute to do the test and we could create a rule for all the tests in our class. Right now, there's more a elegant solution, and we're going to see two solutions actually. We're going to see the @Timeout annotation and the assertTimeout methods. I have prepared a class here that I will use to demonstrate how to use timeout in JUnit 5. So the first one is to have @Timeout on top of your Test class. And we can just say @Timeout here, and then it will take two attributes: the amount that it can wait and then the unit. So I'm going to say value and this is going to be 500. And then the time unit, which is going to be milliseconds. I wonder if that would be a bit long test. So let's go for the milliseconds.…
