Description

If there is a test method that uses some data provider than the generated report will contain a number of lines with the same text (the plain method name) which correspond to the different invocations of that method with different parameters.

The testng-results.xml contains parameter values for each invocation therefore surefire report can display the proper text for each invocation consisting of the plain method name and a list of actual parameter values.
