I have a Java project, which consists of loads of maven modules and a considerable amount of unit/integration tests. The project is configured to create test reports via the surefire plugin. Now this plugin basically creates an XML-report per test class and is scheduled to run once a day and executed on Jenkins.
What I want to do is, send the those XML-reports to a test management system (XRAY) in order to make them more visible and manageable. My (naive) approach would be to just just add a post build script on Jenkins and send those reports via curl to the test managements REST-API. This API offers a way to send a single report file at a time. This report file can either be single or nested, i.e. I can basically send both of the following and it works:
Single report
<testsuite>
...
</testsuite>
Aggregated report
<testsuites>
<testsuite ... />
<testsuite ... />
</testsuites>
The REST-API can handle both, that is the IBM JUnit schema and the standard surefire schema
Now to the problem; I obviously want to combine those reports into one to avoid having to make a billion requests to the REST-API. However I can't seem to find an automated way. What I've tried so far is
- play around with the surefire plugin to merge the XML reports, but no appropriate option seems to exist
- Organise Tests into a (JUnit) test suite, but the output remains an xml report per test
- finding alternative plugins/tools that address this issue, no luck
The only other way I can think of is to write a "merge script" myself, possibly using some sort of XSLT-transformation. But I'd rather not. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
