Introduction

When Maven runs tests in a project, it automatically generates XML based test reports in a directory called surefire-reports in the target under the project directory. To install the Maven surefire plugin we can the plugin information to the Maven pom.xml file.

The plugin creates test reports when we run the Maven test goal. By default, the reports are created under the target folder in the surefire-reports directory.

Maven Surefire

Sample Triangle Tests

package com.triangle.demo;

public class Triangle {
 
 public static final int NOTATRIANGLE = -1;
 public static final int SCALENE = 0;
 public static final int ISOSELES = 1;
 public static final int EQUILATERAL = 2;
 
 public static int check(int a, int b, int c) {

 boolean isTriangle;

 if((a < b + c) && (b < a + c) && (c < a + b))
 isTriangle = true;
 else
 isTriangle = false;

 int triangleType = NOTATRIANGLE;
 if(isTriangle) {
 if((a == b) && (b == c))
 triangleType = EQUILATERAL;
 else if((a != b) && (a != c) && (b != c))
 triangleType = SCALENE;
 else
 triangleType = ISOSELES;
 } else
 triangleType = NOTATRIANGLE;
 
 return triangleType;
 }

}

Triangle Class Tests

package com.triangle.demo;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.Test;

public class TriangleTest {
 @Test
 public void testEquilateralTriangle() {
 assertEquals(Triangle.EQUILATERAL,
 Triangle.check(7, 7, 7));
 }
 
 @Test
 public void testIsoselesTriangle() {
 assertEquals(Triangle.ISOSELES,
 Triangle.check(4, 4, 6));
 }
 
 @Test
 public void testScaleneTriangle() {
 assertEquals(Triangle.SCALENE,
 Triangle.check(6, 7, 9));
 }
}

Let’s add some sample tests to a Maven project and run them using Jenkins build.

Console Output

Build the project and click on the Console output. You can see that Jenkins reports your tests.
