How can you temporarily disable the execution of tests during a Maven project build?

In Maven, you can temporarily disable the execution of tests during project build using the command line parameters -DskipTests or -Dmaven.test.skip=true.

• -DskipTests — skips running tests but compiles them.
• -Dmaven.test.skip=true — completely skips compiling and running tests.

Example commands:

mvn clean install -DskipTests

Or

mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

This is convenient when you need to quickly build the project without running tests.
