Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation from a central piece of information.

The Squish Maven plugin described here makes it possible to run Squish tests during any Maven phase.

To use the plugin from your POM file add this to the plugins section:

<project>
   ....
    <plugins>
       ....
       <!-- Make the Squish plugin known to Maven and run one testcase -->
       <plugin>
         <groupId>com.froglogic.squish.maven</groupId>
         <artifactId>squish-plugin</artifactId>
         <executions>
           ....
           <!-- This test uses local Squish server -->
           <execution>
             <id>test1</id>
             <phase>test</phase>
             <goals>
               <goal>run-test</goal>
             </goals>
             <configuration>
               <path>C:\squish</path>
               <testsuite>C:\squish\examples\qt4\suite_addressbook_js</testsuite>
               <testcase>tst_add_address</testcase>
             </configuration>
           </execution>
           ....
         </executions>
       <plugin>
       ....
    </plugins>
   ....
</project>

This example runs the suite_addressbook_js suite's tst_add_address test case during the test phase. Athough in fact, the test could be run during any phase, simply by changing the phase tag.

In this example, only one test case is executed, but it is possible to run as many test cases as you like, simply by adding more execution tags inside the executions tag. Alternatively, all of a suite's test cases can be run simply by omitting the testcase tag.
