Hi,

a generic Maven multibranch pipeline should gather statistics about test results (surefire, jacoco …).  
This pipeline has the stages = checkout, mvn build, Sonarqube scan, NexusIQ scan, publish.  
Is there another way beside getting the metrics from Sonarqube or parsing the jenkins pipeline log ?

so without hitting sonarqube api? and without looking at jenkins pipeline log? and without using [JUnit Plugin](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/junit/)? Thats a lot of without without any indication what isn’t right about those solutions.

You could archive the .txt or .xml files that junit outputs.
