maven-surefire-report-plugin does not build HTML report - maven

Question

I am trying to generate an HTML report from my JUnit Selenium test cases. I followed a few tutorials available online, which suggested me to use maven-surefire-report-plugin. After following a few tutorials when I try to integrate the same idea in my own project, it does not work for me.
My POM.xml follows:

I am new to this field, any help would be appreciated.

The call to the maven-surefire-report-plugin in the reporting section of the POM is missing. Please have a look at http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-report-plugin/usage.html
