Cucumber XML Report

XML(eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language much like HTML or you can say its a software- and hardware-independent tool for storing and transporting data. XML is often used for distributing data over the Internet, web development, separate data from presentation.

XML stores data in plain text format. This provides a software- and hardware-independent way of storing, transporting, and sharing data. XML also makes it easier to expand or upgrade to new operating systems, new applications, or new browsers, without losing data. With XML, data can be available to all kinds of "reading machines" like people, computers, voice machines, news feeds, etc.

To generate XML report in Cucumber use below code:

@CucumberOptions(
    plugin = {"pretty","junit:target/cucumber/cucumber.xml"},
    features = {"features"},
    glue={"com.pb.cucumbertest.stepdefinitions"},
    monochrome = true,
    strict = true,
    dryRun = false,
    tags = {"@singleargument"}
)
