Eric, when you use the maven-release-plugin a property performRelease is set during release:perform.
So define in the pluginManagement section a definition for the maven-failsafe-plugin in your build section: <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.17</version> <executions> <execution> <id>default-integration-test</id> <goals> <goal>integration-test</goal> </goals> </execution> <execution> <id>default-verify</id> <goals> <goal>verify</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> and later on in your pom <profile> <id>release-run-failsafe</id> <activation> <property> <name>performRelease</name> <value>true</value> </property> </activation> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <profile> So only during release:perform your integration tests will be executed and success is verified.
