The JUnit test framework did not initially have any XML reporting
facilities built in. Instead, the XML report was generated by the
Apache Ant JUnit task:
https://github.com/apache/ant/search?q=filename%3AXMLJUnitResultFormatter.java
Many users interacted with these reports via the Jenkins JUnit plugin,
which provided graphical visualization of the test results:
https://plugins.jenkins.io/junit/
Due to the lack of an official XML schema for the Apache Ant JUnit
report there was some confusion about what the actual format was.
People started documenting the de-facto format, both as produced
by Ant, and as consumed by Jenkins:
https://github.com/windyroad/JUnit-Schema/blob/master/JUnit.xsdhttps://github.com/junit-team/junit5/search?q=filename%3Ajenkins-junit.xsd
The XML produced by the Qt Test JUnit reporter was far from these
schemas, causing issues when importing results into tools such
as Jenkins, Allure2, or Test Center.
The following changes have been made to improve conformance:
- The 'timestamp' attribute on <testsuite> is is now in ISO
8601 local time, without any time zone specified
- The 'hostname' attribute on <testsuite> is now included
- The 'classname' attribute on <testcase> is now included
- The non-standard 'result' attribute on <testcase> has
been removed
- The non-standard 'result' attribute on <failure> has
been renamed to 'type'
- The <system-out> element on <testsuite> is always included,
even when empty
- The non-standard 'tag' attribute on <failure> has been
removed. Data-driven tests are now represented as individual
<testcase> elements, e.g.:
<testcase name="someTest(someData X)" ...>
<testcase name="someTest(someData Y)" ...>
<testcase name="someTest(someData Z)" ...>
The resulting XML validates against both the de-facto Apache Ant
'JUnit 4' schema and the Jenkins JUnit plugin schema.

The attributes are, like the elements, maintained in reverse
order in the underlying QTestCoreList, so we need to iterate
them backwards when printing out the resulting XML to reflect
the order they were added.
This results in e.g.:
<testcase name="passingBenchmark" result="pass">
Instead of:
<testcase result="pass" name="passingBenchmark">

The reporter was probably named 'xunit' based on the historical use of
xUnit to refer to testing frameworks derived from Smalltalk's SUnit.
These frameworks typically added their own prefix, e.g. JUnit for Java,
RUnit for R, etc.
The most popular of these was the JUnit framework, and the corresponding
XML output produced by the Ant built tool became somewhat of a de facto
standard, which is probably why we chose to model our reporter after it.
Nowadays however, naming it 'xunit' is problematic as there is actually
a testing famework named xUnit.net, typically shortened to, you guessed
it: xunit.
Test report consumers will typically have a junit mode, and an xunit
mode, and the latter could easily be mistaken for what testlib outputs,
unless we clarify this.
The clarification also allows us to safely extend our support for the
JUnit XML format to incorporate some elements that are nowadays common,
but where we are lagging behind the standard.
[ChangeLog][QTestLib] The formerly named 'xunitxml' test reporter has
been renamed to what it actually is: a JUnit test reporter, and is now
triggered by passing -o junitxml to the test binary.
