Issue is using test maven, this error is displayed Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test (default-test)

Question

When I am trying to test or install my pom.xml I received this error message:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test (default-test)

I want to specify that nothing really helped Mvn clean, Update project, Clean or anything else that I can do related to maven, can anyone help me with others ideas that really can help solve the issue ?

Thanks
