             Summary: surefire-test-report.xsd has too narrow a definition for testcase time attribute
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1533
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1533
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JUnit 5.x support
            Reporter: Thomas Sondergaard


The jenkins xunit plugin uses the surefire jenkins schema for validation.

[http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/xsd/surefire-test-report.xsd]

Many test tools, also outside the Java world, use the junit format, but it has (apparently) not been well-specified so a number of tools generate junit reports that do not match the xsd above. Specifically I have run into the problem that the time attribute is much too narrowly defined in the schema. It does not allow specifying time with sub-millisecond precision or use of scientific notation for the time.

Are there any reason not to allow any floating point number for the (testcase) time attribute?

If you do not want to allow scientific notation at least allow more than three decimals.
