Maven separate Unit Test and Integration Tests

UT = Unit Tests IT = Integration Tests. All my Integration test classes are annotated with @Category(IntegrationTest.class)

My goal is:

mvn clean install => runs UT and not IT

mvn clean install -DskipTests=true => no tests are executed

mvn clean deploy => runs UT and not IT

mvn clean test => runs UT and not IT

mvn clean verify => runs UT and IT

mvn clean integration-test => runs IT and UT are not executed

mvn clean install deploy => runs UT and not IT

pom properties:

<junit.version>4.12</junit.version>
<surefire-plugin.version>2.18.1</surefire-plugin.version>
<failsafe-plugin.version>2.18.1</failsafe-plugin.version>

Compiler:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.8</source>
        <target>1.8</target>
        <compilerArgument>-Xlint:all</compilerArgument>
        <showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
        <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Unit Tests:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${surefire-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <excludedGroups>com.xpto.IntegrationTest</excludedGroups>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Integration Tests:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${failsafe-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <groups>com.xpto.IntegrationTest</groups>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>integration-test</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <includes>
                    <include>**/*.class</include>
                </includes>
            </configuration>
        </execution>                
    </executions>              
</plugin>

My results are:

mvn clean install => OK

mvn clean install -DskipTests=true => OK

mvn clean deploy => runs UT and not IT

mvn clean test => OK

mvn clean verify => NOK ... only UT are executed but IT also needs to be executed

mvn clean integration-test => NOK ... UT are executed and should not and IT aren't executed but should be executed

mvn clean install deploy => OK

The solution is this:

          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>integration-test</goal>
              <goal>verify</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>

      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>4.12</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

This will let you control which is executed.
