What is maven-failsafe-plugin
The Failsafe Plugin is designed to run integration tests while the Surefire Plugins is designed to run unit. The name (failsafe) was chosen both because it is a synonym of surefire and because it implies that when it fails, it does so in a safe way. If you use the Surefire Plugin for running tests, then when you have a test failure, the build will stop at the integration-test phase and your integration test environment will not have been torn down correctly. The Failsafe Plugin is used during the integration-test and verify phases of the build lifecycle to execute the integration tests of an application. The Failsafe Plugin will not fail the build during the integration-test phase thus enabling the post-integration-test phase to execute.
