Analysis of Maven Surefire Test Report Timings

Maven Surefire Plugin Test Durations

This repo is solely for experimentation and investigation of the test durations reported by the Maven Surefire Plugin.

What I learned

I wrote the simplest test AppTest using Thread.sleep() to clearly provoke timings in the report that can be attributed back to the testcase or suite.

Surefire reports a time attribute for the

• test suite (class) which includes the time it takes to run @BeforeClass methods and the total of all test cases
• test case (method) which includes the time it takes to run @Before methods and the time it takes to run the test

See AppTest.xml

No surprises here 😋️

IntelliJ suprised me a bit since it did not include the @BeforeClass time in the test duration. See screenshot.png
