Introduction

Test Reporter displays test results from popular testing frameworks directly in GitHub. It parses results in XML or JSON format and creates a report as a GitHub check run or GitHub Actions job summary, annotates code where tests failed based on messages and stack traces, and outputs the final conclusion and passed, failed and skipped counts, according to its README.

Supported formats cover .NET, Dart and Flutter, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, Swift (xUnit) and Unreal Engine test outputs. The README notes that the simple setup does not work for workflows triggered by pull requests from forks, and documents a two-workflow pattern using artifacts for that case.

Version 3.0.0 was released in March 2026.

In the quality loop it supports pull request gates with visible results.

The source code is at dorny/test-reporter on GitHub under the MIT licence, with about 1,200 stars; the most recent commit was on 24 October 2026.
