title: Skip test case execution in maven doesn't even compile Test cases
body: <p>Using Maven build configuration, we can configure it to skip test execution while building the source file. In eclipse we can check the checkbox labeled as 'Skip Test` and from command line we can use</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Skip test doesn't even compile the unit test source codes. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to configure maven such that it will compile the unit test classes but doesn't execute it?</p>
