JUnit XML

JUnit XML is a type of formatted XML file that is used to convey test execution results. The JUnit XML format is not exclusive to JUnit (a widely used testing framework for Java); it is actually a de facto standard that many testing tools can use to produce results, even across different languages and frameworks. This cross-language, cross-platform support has made JUnit XML the common language for conveying test results.

The XML file usually provides a summary of the total tests conducted, their pass/fail/skipped status, and the duration. It also details each test's outcome, potential errors or stack traces for failed tests, and individual test durations.
