Intro

Sometimes you want to run a single test class or a single test from a test class. Here is how to accomplish that.

Run single test class

Multimodule

mvn test -Dtest=MyTestClass -DfailIfNoTests=false

• in a multi-module product, add -DfailIfNoTests=false to ignore if there are no tests to run against that module. Though the documented behavior defaults to “false”, set it anyway. Different versions of maven surefire may have different defaults.

Single Module

• Running against actual module where the test resides

mvn test -Dtest=MyTestClass

Run a single test 

mvn test -Dtest=MyTestClass#testSomething -DfailIfNoTests=false
