      Option 1. Test BOM

      • Consider introducing a separate bom exclusively for the test dependency management
      • Eventually it would contain only JUnit 5 deps, but could support JUnit 4 as well for the starters
      • Could have a faster update cycle than the main third-party lib bom (even depend on later Java versions?)
      •  dependency bot currently works on the boms & could work on test-boms with little adaptation
      • Caveat: we'd have to import dep mgmt of the two boms now, not just one.
        To validate: what exact benefits this effort brings?

      Option 2. Move test dependencies to parent

      • let the parent pom provision dep management for tests
      • simpler module setup
      • a lot of hassle updating the libraries (would require parent pom release!?)

      Also consider extracting out the so-called magnolia-integration-tests-framework (the one used for non UI tests) into its own module (could be a submodule of test-framework?) and manage dependencies there (as was done for UI test dependencies in MGNLTEST-200).
