Test Reporting

This project is configured to create reports with allure reporting. After executing the tests, it generates resources in the folder target/allure-results.

You can install Allure with just a few commands. For instructions of how to install for your operating system, visit the following link

To generate the visual allure report, execute the following command:

allure serve target/allure-results

or

allure generate target/allure-results -o target/allure-report

The serve command generate the report in a temp folder, while the generate command created it permanently into the target/allure-report folder

One of the interesting features of Allure Report is that you can build the report, not only with the last test execution data, but with the historical data from the past execution. By this way, it has some features, like for example, automatically tag as "broken", tests that has failed many times, or tag as "flaky", tests that has failed sometimes and passed sometimes. Also, it can be integrated with pipeline tools, like Jenkins.

To write the environment variables into the report, I used this library
