JUnit XML — Mixed Pass, Fail, Error and Skip

The full canonical run flattened into a single suite: nine passes, one failure, one error and one skip. This is the same twelve cases the eight dialect files carry, so totals can be compared straight across.

What is a .xml file?

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a verbose, self-describing markup language using nested tags, attributes, and namespaces to represent structured, hierarchical data. It supports schemas, entities, and validation and underlies many document and data formats. It remains common in enterprise, publishing, and interchange contexts.

How to use this file

Use an example XML file to test parsers, namespace and schema validation, XPath queries, and protection against entity-expansion and external-entity attacks.

How to use this file for testing

“JUnit XML — Mixed Pass, Fail, Error and Skip” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Error handling, Conversion testing, Log parsing. Deliberately corrupt and invalid files, clearly labelled, for testing how your tool fails.

Documented properties for this file: seed 61200 · UTF-8 · LF. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Test and coverage reports document their totals (suites, cases, passes, failures, skips, covered lines) in the spec table. Point your CI dashboard, coverage gate, or report converter at the file and assert those counts survive; format twins carry identical numbers so a conversion can be scored exactly.

Code examples

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse("outcome-mixed.xml")
root = tree.getroot()
print(root.tag, [c.tag for c in root][:5])
