Is there a way to “fail fast” for junit with the maven surefire plugin?

Question

I\'m currently working on a java project using maven. We use the maven surefire plugin to run our junit suite as part of the build process.

Our test suite is rapidl

Answer 1

A few ways to speed it up if not exactly what you need:

• If it's a multi module build, add --fail-fast to the command line to drop out after the first module.

• Look into failsafe to move long running integration tests onto a different phase of the lifecycle.

• Look into a profile based solution for fast and slow tests - Is there a way to tell surefire to skip tests in a certain package?.
