Showing Failure Tests

By default, the surefire-report plugin shows all test result status(success and failures) in the generated html. To be able to show the failures only, the property showSuccess should be set to false.

<project>
  [...]
  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
           <showSuccess>false</showSuccess>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>
  [...]
</project>

Then execute mvn site for the report generation.

It can also be set via commandline with the standalone goal.

  mvn surefire-report:report -DshowSuccess=false
