Produce test results in JUnit-style XML format by using the XMLPlugin class.

In your current folder, create a function-based test file named sampleTest.m. The file contains two tests that pass and one test that fails.

function tests = sampleTest
tests = functiontests(localfunctions);
end

function testA(testCase)      % Test passes
verifyEqual(testCase,2+3,5)
end

function testB(testCase)      % Test fails
verifyGreaterThan(testCase,13,42)
end

function testC(testCase)      % Test passes
verifySubstring(testCase,"Hello World!","llo")
end

Import the XMLPlugin class.

import matlab.unittest.plugins.XMLPlugin

Create a test runner with a plugin that produces test results in JUnit-style XML format. To create the plugin, use the producingJUnitFormat static method.

runner = testrunner("minimal");
filename = "results.xml";
plugin = XMLPlugin.producingJUnitFormat(filename);
addPlugin(runner,plugin)

Create a test suite from the test file and run the tests. The test runner runs the tests, and the plugin saves the test results to a file named results.xml in your current folder.

suite = testsuite("sampleTest.m");
run(runner,suite);

View the contents of the generated test artifact. The results in the file indicate that testA and testC passed but testB failed due to a verification failure.
