How to run individual test in the integration-test target in maven

Question

We have a hundreds of tests defined for our integration-test phase lifecycle in maven, and they take a long time to finish.

What I want to do is run just one test in

Answer 1

I'm not sure about JUnit, but for TestNG the strategy would be to define a suite XML file with only the one test, and then in your POM configure the surefire plugin to only run that. In your POM, you would have something like this (disclaimer, this is untested):

  
    maven-surefire-plugin
    
      
        integration-test
        
          
            single-test.xml
          
        
        
          run
