+# Lab Name
+
+Fabino Junit5 Test Extension
+
+# Short Description
+
+**Fabino-Test** is a lightweight Java testing library for Hyperledger Fabric that simplifies unit and integration
+testing of
+chaincode. It leverages **JUnit 5 extensions**, **Testcontainers**, and the **Microfab Docker image** to automatically
+bootstrap a
+Fabric network, install and commit chaincodes, and inject a ready-to-use **Fabric Gateway SDK** instance into test
+classes.
+Fabino-Test enables developers to focus on writing real test scenarios without manually managing the underlying network,
+making Fabric testing fast, reproducible, and developer-friendly.
+
+# Scope of Lab
+
+Fabino-Test fits within the **Hyperledger Fabric developer tooling and testing** domain. Its scope includes:
+
+- **Automated Fabric Network Bootstrapping in Java:** Start a complete Fabric network using Microfab and Testcontainers,
+  fully controlled from Java, based on user-provided configuration.
+- **Chaincode Lifecycle Management:** Handle packaging, installation, approval, and commit of chaincodes automatically
+  within Java test environments.
+- **Integration with JUnit 5 (Java):** Provide seamless extension mechanisms to manage the network lifecycle in unit and
+  integration tests written in Java.
+- **Dependency Injection:** Inject ready-to-use Java Fabric Gateway SDK instances (and potentially Network, Contract
+  objects) into test classes.
+- **Test Infrastructure Abstraction:** Enable Java developers to write reliable chaincode tests without manually
+  managing peers, channels, or TLS certificates.
+
+Fabino-Test aims to reduce the overhead of setting up Fabric test environments in Java, increase test reproducibility,
+and provide a **flexible platform** for future expansion, such as supporting additional chaincode deployment models or
+advanced test scenarios.
