Deprecating the Old Testsuite Module

If you find yourself reading this document, you are probably asked to migrate a test from your PR to use the new Test Framework.

With the release of the new Test Framework, this testsuite module, with all related dependents, is officially deprecated.

Specifically speaking:

Arquillian testsuite
Model testsuite
All related utility modules

A limited amount of changes to existing tests are permitted, and should primarily be used to add test-cases when resolving bugs. Adding new files is not allowed.

Why Deprecated?

Onboarding process has a steep learning curve.
Adding new features is complex and non-trivial task.

How to Migrate Your Test?
