Primary Value and Problem Solved: JUnit addresses the need for reliable and efficient unit testing in Java applications. By automating the testing process, it helps developers identify and fix bugs early in the development cycle, leading to higher code quality and maintainability. Its integration with various tools and frameworks streamlines the development workflow, making it an essential component in modern Java development practices.
