What is the use of the Maven Surefire Plugin? I can not find a proper example.
The Surefire Report Plugin parses the generated TEST-*. xml files under ${basedir}/target/surefire-reports and renders them using DOXIA, which creates the web interface version of the test results.
The Surefire plugin is designed to execute the unit tests of an application and can generate the reports using HTML format. We can integrate Surefire plugins with the other testing frameworks such as TestNG, Junit, and POJO Tests, etc. It also supports other languages like C#, Ruby, Scala, etc.
maven-surefire-plugin is designed for running unit tests and if any of the tests fail then it will fail the build immediately. maven-failsafe-plugin is designed for running integration tests, and decouples failing the build if there are test failures from actually running the tests.
The Maven surefire plugin provides a test parameter that we can use to specify test classes or methods we want to execute. If we want to execute a single test class, we can execute the command mvn test -Dtest=”TestClassName”.
Better you start with https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/
In short link says:
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 Plain text files (.txt) XML files (.xml)
