Question

A lot of tools produces and consumes the same XML File format for Unit Test report.

Example (source):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<testsuite errors="0" failures="0" hostname="hazelnut.osuosl.org" name="net.cars.engine.MoteurTest" tests="6" time="0.021" timestamp="2007-11-02T23:13:50">
  <properties>
    <property name="java.vendor" value="IBM Corporation" />
    <property name="os.name" value="Linux" />
    <!-- more property tags-->
  </properties>
  <testcase classname="net.cars.engine.MoteurTest" name="hasBougie" time="0.0010" />
  <testcase classname="net.cars.engine.MoteurTest" name="hasCarburatueur" time="0.0010" />
  <!-- more testcase tags-->
  <system-out><![CDATA[]]></system-out>
  <system-err><![CDATA[]]></system-err>
</testsuite>

After a little bit research, I have found that the format was proposed by the apache foundation (by the ant project).

Produced by:

• junit ant task
• antunit
• maven surefire
• testng
• …

Consumed by:

• junitreport ant task
• maven surefire-reports
• CruiseControl
• Luntbuild
• Bamboo
• Hudson/Jenkins
• IntelliJ TeamCity
• AntHill
• Parabuild
• JUnit PDF Report
• …

The only document I could find is this page on the ant wiki:
Proposals/EnhancedTestReports

Is there any specification of this format (DTD, XSD) ?

I want to write a such file from hand… (or maybe use a librairy if you know any)…

This page http://windyroad.org/2011/02/07/apache-ant-junit-xml-schema/ suggests that the XML Schema for JUnit test reports is here http://windyroad.org/dl/Open%20Source/JUnit.xsd

The structure of that schema seems to match the example you have given.
