Are there any other reasons to prefer Java?

Besides the popularity and maturity of the ecosystem, Java is often chosen because of:

• Cross-platform capabilities thanks to JVM, which simplifies running tests on different OSes.
• A large number of tools for test automation (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, TestNG).
• Good support for multithreading and parallelism, which is important for load testing.
• An active community and extensive documentation, which makes solving issues easier.
• Integration with enterprise systems and CI/CD, where Java is often the standard.
