Skipping Tests

 To skip running the tests for a particular project, set the <<skipTests>>
 property to <<true>>.

+---+
<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
        <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <skipTests>true</skipTests>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
+---+

 You can also skip the tests via command line by executing the following command:

+---+
mvn install -DskipTests
+---+

#{if}(${project.artifactId}=="maven-failsafe-plugin")
 Since <<<skipTests>>> is also followed by the ${thatPlugin} Plugin, this will have the effect
 of not running any tests.  If, instead, you want to skip only the integration tests
 being run by the ${thisPlugin} Plugin, you would use the <<<skipITs>>> property

+---+
mvn install -DskipITs
+---+

#{end}
 If you absolutely must, you can also use the <<<maven.test.skip>>> property to skip compiling the tests.
 <<<maven.test.skip>>> is honored by Surefire, Failsafe and the Compiler Plugin.

+---+
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
+---+

Skipping by default

   If you want to skip tests by default but want the ability to re-enable tests from the
   command line, you need to go via a properties section in the pom:

+---+
<project>
  [...]
  <properties>
    <skipTests>true</skipTests>
  </properties>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
        <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <skipTests>${skipTests}</skipTests>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
+---+

   This will allow you to run with tests disabled by default and to run them with this command:

+---+
mvn install -DskipTests=false
+---+

   The same can be done with the "skip" parameter and other booleans on the plugin.
