open-test-reporting | Language-agnostic test reporting format and tooling

open-test-reporting is a Java library. open-test-reporting has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However open-test-reporting build file is not available and it has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub, Maven.

This repository contains the definition of and tooling for two new XML-based test reporting formats that are agnostic of any testing framework and programming language yet concrete enough to be consumable by a wide range of downstream tools such as IDEs, build tools, and report generators. The first format is event-based which is not only suitable for writing events to a file but also for streaming events over a local socket or network connection. Instead of having to collect all data for a test only to write it to the report after the test has completed, testing frameworks can emit events as they occur, for example when a test is started or finished. The second format is meant to be closer to existing hierarchical representations of test results that users are familiar with. For example, when executing tests in IDEs, one is usually presented with a tree of tests and their results. This same structure can be found in files that use this format. Thus, instead of requiring humans or processing tools to piece together all relevant events for a test from the event-based format, this hierarchical format collects all relevant information in a single place for each test. Besides being human-readable, this format is easier to transform into an HTML report by a downstream reporting tool or CI server. The two formats are designed to complement each other such that the event-based format can be mechanically converted into the hierarchical one. This repository contains a reference implementation of such a converter as an executable and library. This way, testing frameworks can focus on writing the event-based format; build tools may use the converter to write the hierarchical format; and reporting tools can consume whichever format they prefer.
