As mentioned in a previous post, starting with the 5.6 version of TestNG, we have the ability to get an XML report (in the testng-results.xml file) that takes in consideration most of the TestNG features that are not available in the JUnit-compatible XML results. Although my spare time was fairly limited lately, I finally managed to create a project for an XSL transformer to handle these reports, in order to provide a useful and user-friendly output for TestNG, as an alternative to the classic HTML reports.
The project is currently hosted on Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/testng-xslt and the current version is 0.2. For the moment you can only get it from the SVN repository, but that will change as soon as I’ll have some time to write some decent documentation and pack it with a download zip. Some sample generated reports are available at http://cosminaru.ro/test/testng-xslt.
To get started, you can call ant test in the project base directory to see it running with a sample set of data. Your output should be generated in the test/single/output subdirectory. You can also use the build.xml file as a sample of integrating this with Ant and the output of a TestNG test run. Please take in consideration that the module is relying on lots of XSL 2.0 features. As far as I can tell, the only current implementation for that is Saxon, but you don’t have to worry about that since is bundled in the lib directory of the project.
