JUnit XML Schema

All the issue data is wrapped in a <testsuites /> element. This element will contain the following attributes:

Attribute	Description	Example
`id`	The WCAG level selected at the time of export.	`"wcag21AA"`
`name`	The name of the saved test or, for exports done before saving the results, the title of the document being tested	`"Recipe Dashboard"`
`package`	The name of the software in which the testing was performed.	`"axe DevTools Browser Extension"`
`timestamp`	The date/time of export.	`"2023-04-04T00:08:10.772Z"` (result of `new Date().toISOString()`)

Within the <testsuites /> there are <testcase /> elements. Each <testcase /> represents a "rule" failure. This element will contain the following attributes:

Attribute	Description	Example
`name`	The rule ID.	`"aria-role-missing"`
`id`	Which IGT the issue was found in (will be omitted for auto issues).	`"igt:keyboard"`

Within each <testcase /> element is a <failure /> element. This element represents a failure of the rule defined in the <testcase />. The <failure /> contains the following attributes:

Attribute	Description	Example
`message`	The description of the issue (failure) followed by the rule help URL	`"The element's role is missing or is not appropriate for the element's function. https://docs.deque.com/issue-help/1.0.0/en/aria-role-missing"`
`impact`	The impact of the issue.	`"critical"`

Within each <failure /> element each instance of the failure's selector ("CSS Path") and source code ("HTML") will be printed out. Each instance will be separated by --------. An example of this text is as follows:

CSS Path: body.Page--no-sidebar > #btn-1
HTML: &lt;div id=&quot;btn-1&quot; tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://workshop2.dequelabs.com/46c642c98aecd147b905d063efb8a97d.png&quot; class=&quot;edit&quot; alt=&quot;Edit&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
