Issue
I have thousands of unit tests in my project, and I'd like to choose one or a couple of them to run from the command line. What's the command to do that?
Solution
You can run all the tests in a class, by passing the -Dtest=<class>
flag to Maven:
mvn clean test -Dtest=xxxxTest
Since Surefire 2.8, you can also run an individual test, say a method testA
within your unit tests, using the same flag:
mvn clean test -Dtest=xxxxTest#testA
More examples for running multiple tests, by name pattern or name lists, can be found in the Maven Surefire documentation > Running a Single Test.
