The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) experiment will be a new neutrino oscillation experiment, which is currently under construction and starting in the next years, with main goal of determining the neutrino mass ordering from the oscillation pattern. Therefore a high energy resolution of 3% @ 1 MeV is required, for whose realization up to 20'000 20-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) will be used in JUNO. All of these PMTs have to fulfil dedicated quality requirements for several key characteristics (dark rate, PDE, peak-to-valley ratio etc.) for which a PMT mass testing facility using commercial shipping containers has been developed. This PMT testing container system is running successfully for more than 3 years now and all 20'000 PMTs have been tested and characterized at least once. In this talk we report about the progress in PMT testing, show selected results on the PMT performance and accuracies of the testing facility and will discuss prospects for the container system and the ongoing PMT characterization campaign for JUNO.
