At Testiny, we believe in streamlined, automated testing workflows. That’s why we’ve made sure that integrating JUnit with Testiny is as smooth and efficient as possible. Testiny offers robust support for test automation, enabling teams to consolidate both manual and automated test results within a single platform. This integration facilitates comprehensive analysis and reporting of all testing activities.
What is JUnit?
JUnit is a testing framework for the JVM, widely used by popular build tools like Gradle, Maven, Ant, and Spring Boot. By default, most of these tools generate JUnit XML report files when running tests. You can submit and collect all your test results from JUnit-style XML reports in Testiny to monitor results over time, identify recurring test failures, and address CI issues or flaky tests.
Hint: Many testing frameworks follow a standardized JUnit-style XML format to record test results. You can import JUnit-style XML reports from any testing framework into Testiny, not just from JUnit.
How it works

best-practice examples of essential commands.
Steps to integrate JUnit with Testiny
To submit JUnit-style XML reports to Testiny, use the Testiny CLI with the --junit option and make sure you
specify a Testiny API key. The CLI will collect the results of all specified JUnit XML reports and create an automated test run
in Testiny.
By leveraging these features, Testiny ensures that automated test results are seamlessly integrated into the overall test management
process, enhancing collaboration and efficiency across development and QA teams.
