I brought this up in the past the maven guys were adamant that they were
not able to get per test information to output on the console unless
testng changed. I felt all along that this was not correct and I
finally had a chance to look into it. Surefire could simply register a
listener to get call backs during the execution and could output the
results. TestNG does support this functionality with the ITestListener.
For example, onStart() will give the start of running a particular class
configuration and test methods and onFinish() will be called after all
of the configuration and test methods have been run. I took a look at
the Surefire code and there is a TestNGReporter that does implement the
ITestListener, but it does not implement these methods, they are all
no-ops. So, it seems like these could be implemented and then we could
see progress output on the console.
