How to Skip Test Cases in Maven Build

You can skip the test in two following ways :-

By configuring the Pom.xml , if you are using surefire plugin then you can configure as below. 

<build>

    <plugins>

      <plugin>

        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

        <version>2.18</version>

        <configuration>

          <skipTests>true</skipTests>

        </configuration>

      </plugin>

    </plugins>

  </build>

For specific module test you can create profile in pom.xml for specific environment and it will help to skip the test cases.You can skip this specified profile "noTest".

<profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>noTest</id>
      <activation>
        <property>
          <name>noTest</name>
          <value>true</value>
        </property>
      </activation>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.4.2</version>
            <configuration>
              <skipTests>true</skipTests>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
