Maven Surefire Plugin

Requirements: Maven 3.x and JDK 1.7 or higher. Due to wrong formatting of console text messages in Maven Version prior to 3.1.0 it is highly recommended to use Maven 3.1.0 or higher.

This is the road map of the development, see the GH.

Versions	Release Targets
3.0.0-M1	Maven API 3.0 and Java 1.7 Maven Plugin API 3.0 Java 1.7 as minimum @Component is deprecated. @Parameter should be used instead Surefire manifest jar classloading broken on latest Debian/Ubuntu Java8 See the Release Notes for the version 3.0.0-M1
3.0.0-M2	Fixed: JDK9 and Windows Class-Path issues, 3.0 and Legacy Report XSD, 3.0.0-M2 shadefire Fixed JDK9+ (Jigsaw) modular paths (module-info.java) having white spaces on file system Windows slashes appear in relative paths of Class-Path in MANIFEST.MF (Boot Manifest-JAR) Surefire fails loading class ForkedBooter when using a sub-directory pom file Plugin fails if used Toolchains together with JDK9+ and (Jigsaw) modular paths (module-info.java) 3.0 and Legacy Report XSD 3.0.0-M2 shadefire Feature: Option to switch-off Java 9 modules Option to switch-off Java 9 modules See the Release Notes for the version 3.0.0-M2
3.0.0-M3	Fixed: maven-surefire-report-plugin supports JDK11, JUnit5 issues, deprecated skipTests in Failsafe plugin, used ShadeFire 3.0.0-M2 maven-surefire-report-plugin fails on JDK 11 JUnit Runner that writes to System.out corrupts Surefire's STDOUT when using JUnit's Vintage Engine Smart stacktrace in test summary should not print JUnit5 assertion exception type Deprecate skipTests in Failsafe Plugin See the Release Notes for the version 3.0.0-M3
3.0.0-M4	Provided 3 extensions of reporters which can be used to customize XML report, console and file reporters. It is very useful for JUnit5 users. We reworked the internal implementation so that new commands and events can be easily added. The impl is located in a center point and it is a prerequisite in next versions. Provided bug fixes for Docker Alpine/BusyBox Linux, JUnit5 and 43 more. ForkClient attempts to consume unrelated lines
3.0.0-M5	Test Report tasks (prerequisite: SUREFIRE-1222 in 3.0.0-M4) New interprocess communication with TCP/IP which fixed current blocker and critical bugs. Provided extensions which can be used to customize this interprocess communication in plugin configuration. It is internally used to switch over the pipes and TCP connector. TCP/IP Channel for forked Surefire JVM. Extensions API and SPI. Polymorphism for remote and local process communication.
3.0.0-M6	(1) We will identify the test by UniqueId in SimpleReportEntry and not by the traditional combination of class/method name. (ready for parameterized tests and a coherent re-run) (2) TestSetRunListener should not cache test event and make any guess about the impl in StatelessXmlReporter. TestSetRunListener should only forward events to multiple reporters. (3) Fire and consume more events (normal run start/end, re-run start/end) (4) StatelessXmlReporter repeatedly generates XML report. It is stateful report and won't work if re-run or parallel executions send test events out of order. Prerequisite: 1-3 JUnit 5 in parallel execution mode confuses Surefire reports ConsoleOutputFileReporter should support parallel execution of test-sets
3.0.0-M7	Providers implementation and API More test events used to negotiate tests to run on particular fork JVM. It is useful in situations when the tests are filtered by group/category or classpath scan with file filter (fork JVM is preferable over Maven JVM) and used in Test List Processor (3.0.0-M8). We will keep IsolatedClassLoader for extension 'Test List Processor' so that the user can decide the JVM where the tests will be searched. Possibly JUnit5 provider will be able to scan classes by annotations, see launcher.discover(), and negotiate over the forks. Surefire unable to run testng suites in parallel
3.0.0-M8	Extensions API to customize test-set with test list processor (prerequisite: 3.0.0-M7) (possibly the scan of classpath based on annotations, currently the scan is done based on pattern of file name e.g. -Dtest=MyTest) Test list preprocessor support for tests to be run
3.0.0-M9	Breaking backwards compatibility with system properties in configuration parameters, removing deprecated configuration parameters and removing deprecated code, etc.

It has ten different-2 types of questions which will help you test your knowledge of the relevant topics, and will help you fill your knowledge gap on the questions you don't know. JUnit is a unit testing framework for the Java programming language.JUnit has been important in the development of test-driven development, and is one of a family of unit testing frameworks which is collectively known as xUnit that originated with SUnit. Bats-core: Bash Automated Testing System (2018) Bats is a TAP-compliant testing framework for Bash. It provides a simple way to verify that the UNIX programs you write behave as expected. A Bats test file is a Bash script with special syntax for defining test cases. Under the hood, each test case is just a function with a description.

The Surefire Plugin is used during the test phase of the build lifecycle to execute the unit tests of an application. It generates reports in two different file formats:

Unit 3: Testing The Republicmac's History Channel

Plain text files (*.txt)
XML files (*.xml)

JUnit has been important in the development of test-driven development, and is one of a family of unit testing frameworks which is collectively known as xUnit that originated with SUnit. JUnit is linked as a JAR at compile-time; the framework resides under package junit.framework for JUnit 3.8 and earlier, and under package org.junit for JUnit.

By default, these files are generated in ${basedir}/target/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml.

The schema for the Surefire XML reports is available at Surefire XML Report Schema.

The XML reports generated by legacy plugins (versions up to 2.22.0) should be validated by Legacy Surefire XML Report Schema.

Two plugin versions (2.22.1 and 3.0.0-M1) however generate 3.0 XML reports they still refer to legacy schema (see noNamespaceSchemaLocation in XML Report). The projects which expect XML Reports validated by XSD Schema, tools e.g xUnit, should not use versions 2.22.1 and 3.0.0-M1 of the Surefire plugin.

Goals Overview

The Surefire Plugin has only one goal:

surefire:test runs the unit tests of an application.

Usage

General instructions on how to use the Surefire Plugin can be found on the usage page. Some more specific use cases are described in the examples listed below. Additionally, users can contribute to the GitHub project.

In case you still have questions regarding the plugin's usage, please have a look at the FAQ and feel free to contact the user mailing list. The posts to the mailing list are archived and could already contain the answer to your question as part of an older thread. Hence, it is also worth browsing/searching the mail archive.
