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.
