After running mvn test and viewing the allure report, I see:

This is similar to the issue discussed here:

Could you please check the contents of target/allure-results? We're looking for -result.json files. For each one of those, please check the name and labels fields. Find the duplicates (with the same name) and please share the labels, omitting private details such as your company domain or host name.

[BrianWis]

They all look like this:

"labels": [
{
"name": "package",
"value": "com.playback.test.ConfigTest"
},
{
"name": "testClass",
"value": "com.playback.test.ConfigTest"
},
{
"name": "testMethod",
"value": "testApiFromExcel"
},
{
"name": "parentSuite",
"value": "Surefire suite"
},
{
"name": "suite",
"value": "Surefire test"
},
{
"name": "subSuite",
"value": "com.playback.test.ConfigTest"
},
{
"name": "host",
"value": "MINE2"
},
{
"name": "thread",
"value": "195709@MINE2.main(1)"
},
{
"name": "framework",
"value": "testng"
},
{
"name": "language",
"value": "java"
},
{
"name": "parentSuite",
"value": "API Tests"
}
]

[BrianWis]

Please let me know if this is not the right information or something else is needed from my end.

[baev]

What command do you use to execute tests?

[BrianWis]

mvn test

[baev]

Maven Surefire Plugin automatically adds suites to all tests when no suite.xml file is provided. Basically, it creates a temporary suite.xml file with contents like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name="Surefire suite">
    <test name="Surefire test">
        <classes>
            ...
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

and adds all discovered test classes to it. I'm not sure what the source of the API Tests parent suite label is, but I assume you add it using the Allure Runtime API.

The workaround would be to always provide suite.xml (you can use a wildcard package to run all tests).

[BrianWis]

Where should that file be located?

[BrianWis]

Ultimately, I'm hoping there's some solution here where I can provide my own title and not have to open several sub sections to get my results. Does that make sense?
This is what I was trying to use: https://allurereport.org/docs/testng/
