If you are using the surefire plugin to execute tests (which is the default), then you can set working directory like this:

    
        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-surefire-plugin
            2.7.2
            
                ${java.io.tmpdir}

To set to the specific directory in the question:

${project.build.directory}/test-run
