Viewing Maven Surefire reports

Where Reports Are Generated

After a Maven test run, Surefire generates reports inside target/surefire-reports — including both plain-text (.txt) and XML (.xml) summaries for each test class.

What the Reports Show

• Number of tests run, passed, failed, and skipped.
• Execution time per test.
• Stack traces for any failures.

Why This Matters

These XML reports are the format most CI/CD tools (like Jenkins) read to display test result trends and publish pass/fail dashboards automatically.
