Mastering Software Testing with JUnit 5

Maven Surefire Report

By default, maven-surefire-plugin generates the XML resulting from a test suite execution as ${basedir}/target/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml. This XML output can be easily parsed to HTML using the plugin maven-surefire-report-plugin. To that, we simply need to declare this plugin in the reporting clause of our pom.xml, as follows:

<reporting>    <plugins>        <plugin>            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>            <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>            <version>${maven-surefire-report-plugin.version}</version>        </plugin>    </plugins></reporting>

This way, when we invoque the Maven lifecycle for documentation (mvn site), an HTML page with the test result will be included in the general report.
