Output failed test details to stdout using maven surefire

I find there's way too much output produced on stdout to be useful. Try leaving the HTML report open in your browser. After running your tests just refresh the page. Have a look at target/surefire-reports/index.html.

To output test results to stdout rather than a file use the following command:

mvn test -Dsurefire.useFile=false

Or to configure in your pom.xml add the following to your plugins section.

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.10</version>
  <configuration>
    <useFile>false</useFile>
  </configuration>
</plugin>
