How to Integrate JUnit XML with TestBeats

This guide shows you how to send JUnit XML test results to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat using TestBeats.

What You'll Achieve

After following this guide, any testing framework that outputs JUnit XML reports will automatically send results to your team communication channels, complete with AI-powered failure analysis and detailed reporting.

What is JUnit XML?

JUnit XML is a standardized format for test results that's supported by most testing frameworks including:

Java: JUnit, TestNG, Selenium
JavaScript: Cypress, Playwright, WebdriverIO, Jest
Python: PyTest, unittest
C#: NUnit, MSTest
Ruby: RSpec, Minitest

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

Test results in JUnit XML format
TestBeats installed (npx testbeats@latest --version)
A webhook URL for your communication platform (Slack, Teams, or Chat)
(Optional) TestBeats API key from app.testbeats.com

Step 1: Generate JUnit XML Reports

Configure your testing framework to output JUnit XML. The exact method depends on your framework - see our specific framework guides for detailed instructions.

Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method

You have two options to send results to TestBeats:

Option A: Command Line (Quick Setup)

For quick testing or simple setups:

bash

npx testbeats@latest publish \
  --api-key '<your-api-key>' \
  --slack '<your-webhook-url>' \
  --junit 'results/junit-*.xml'

Option B: Configuration File (Recommended)

For more control and CI/CD integration, create a testbeats.config.json:

json

{
  "api_key": "<your-api-key>",
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "slack",
      "inputs": {
        "url": "<your-webhook-url>"
      }
    }
  ],
  "results": [
    {
      "type": "junit",
      "files": ["results/junit-*.xml"]
    }
  ]
}

Then run:

bash

npx testbeats@latest publish -c testbeats.config.json
