Maven Plugin Configuration Reference

You can configure the Maven plugin by using test goals and settings related to these goals.

Maven plugin goals

A Maven goal item commands Maven to run a test in a specific ReadyAPI tool. For example, the test goal commands Maven to run a functional test.

You can use the following Maven goals:

Goal

startVirts

Runs the specified and configured virtual services. For its settings, see Virtual API goal.

stopVirts

Stops running virtual services.

tool

Runs the specified and configured code-generation tool. For its settings, see Tool goal.

Goal Configurations

Use the following settings to configure Maven goal items:
