Maven will run through all the testsuites. For every testsuite, it will invoke all the testsets under it. By the time it is done, it should have created surefire xmls in every target/surefire-reports directory.

Using the -DinstallDirectory parameter will install Geronimo in one location and the same server instance will be used for each foo-testsuite. The server will be started/stopped for each of them too. The default is for every foo-testsuite to have it's own installation of the server in it's target directory. All testsets under it will use this same instance of the running server.

You may go to any single testsuite and execute 'mvn' from it to run only it's tests.

$>cd geronimo/testsuite
$>mvn site-deploy -DdeployDirectory=/path/to/websiteDbuildNumber=<a timestamp>

This will generate a website for the entire testsuite . Click on the Surefire Test Reports link to see the test resultsand deploy it to a site under geronimo.apache.org. See the summary of the results here.

Framework

The integration test is part of the regular geronimo tree and it resides under geronimo/testsuite. The child modules under this pom.xml are organized into various functional categories of the server. For eg., console-testsuite will perform tests on the console while the web-testsuites will perform tests against the web container.
