JUnit

JUnit is a widely-used unit testing framework for Java applications. It provides annotations to identify test methods, assertions for testing expected results, and test runners for running tests. JUnit supports test-driven development and is integrated into most Java IDEs and build tools like Maven and Gradle. It offers powerful features for organizing, running, and reporting test results. Checkout simple junit example.

Generate XML Report

To generate XML file reports, you can configure JUnit to output test results in XML format using Maven Surefire or Gradle plugins.

Maven Configuration

Configure Maven Surefire plugin in your pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <reportFormat>xml</reportFormat>
        <reportsDirectory>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports</reportsDirectory>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Gradle Configuration

Configure test reporting in your build.gradle:

test {
    useJUnitPlatform()
    reports {
        junitXml.enabled = true
        junitXml.destination = file("$buildDir/test-results/test")
    }
    testLogging {
        events "passed", "skipped", "failed"
    }
}

Install Tacotruck CLI

$ npm install -g @testfiesta/tacotruck
