maven-surefire-plugin is designed for running unit tests and if any of the tests fail then it will fail the build immediately.
maven-surefire-report-plugin uses the generated *.xml files under /target/surefire-reports and creates web view of surefire test.

The surefire plugin is used to run unit tests, while the surefire report plugin can be used to write a test report for the maven site.
