Introduction

You can perform analysis and testing by executing the Jtest goals for Maven for the main project directory. It is not necessary to build the tested project prior to analysis unless your project has never been built before and you need to ensure that external project dependencies are available, or you test a multi-module project. We recommend compiling multi-module projects before running analysis to enable Jtest to use artifacts from the local repository, reducing the amount of time necessary to test and analyze code.

As an aggregator, the Jtest Plugin for Maven must be executed only once during the build.
