Build is Success but No sources to compile

Question

Maven test output in the Eclipse console:

Above image shows the directory of my project but when I run the project via Maven it gives me the above result without running the test. Looking forward for some accurate solutions.

And this is what my POM.XML file looks like:

Answer 1

Maven is all about "convention over configuration" idiom. In order that maven-surefire-plugin will run your testcases it expects to find it under src/test/java, hence, you should follow the maven's standard directory layout and put all your test cases under src/test/java.
