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
