capture before and after blocks

[ASaiAnudeep]

We need to enhance our test results parser to support the parsing of before and after blocks from various testing frameworks such as JUnit, Cucumber, TestNG, etc. Currently, our parser focuses on the main test cases and does not adequately handle the setup and teardown procedures encapsulated in these before and after blocks.

Can you provide examples of what is missing or what you'd like to achieve?

Because you mention 'before' and 'after' in the title of this issue, I'm assuming you mean the steps taken in a cucumber test run? Like a the steps taken in a Feature's Background?

To my knowledge, JUnit, xUnit, NUnit and MSTest capture output in the setup/teardown of the Fixture (class) and Test Case (method). For the Fixture setup and teardown, both are captured in the fixture output (junit: system-out, nunit: output, etc), but there's no logical separation of this output from setup and teardown. For Test Case setup and teardown, this appears inline with the output from the test.

Curious what you would want here.
