URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/262#issuecomment-575803124
 
 
   This is a missunderstanding because `skipTests` is meant to be related to the unit tests and thus the `maven-surefire-plugin`. We know that `skipTests` is also utilized by `maven-failsafe-plugin` but that's wrong design which was confirmed by the emeritus developers of surefire. The problem with this design is the fact that you are not able to skipt unit tests and ITs totally separatelly. So it is worth not to present this detail in the documentation and it is worth to recommend using `skipITs` for `maven-failsafe-plugin` and consider the `skipTests` in `maven-failsafe-plugin` as a design issue. We have a JIRA ticket for this incident.
