Maven not running Test

Question

I created a new maven project in Eclipse that runs simple test by using both HtmlUnitDriver and FirefoxDriver to pull up a web page and check the title on the page. When I run maven command mvn test this is all that I get:

When I run the same Maven command in Eclipse, it shows the following:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

This is my pom.xml for those who want to check if that may be the issue:

Solution

Did you mean to add org.apache.maven.surefire as a POM dependency under <dependencies>?

Most usages of the Surefire plugin are configured under the <pluginManagement> section:

<build>
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.16</version>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
</build>
