Can't place this in a comment, not enough rep.

Few things here, the actions described below belong to the Maven Surefire Plugin which you will want to ensure is in the build entries inside your pom

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>x.x.x</version>
      <configuration>
        <skipTests>${skipTests}</skipTests>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Now you'll have three options to skip tests.

  1. As you mentioned use -Dmaven.test.skip this will neither run, nor compile any of your tests meaning anything that relies on test artefacts being available will fail
  2. You can use -DskipTests which will compile but not run your tests meaning anything that relies on test artefacts will be able to proceed
  3. You can use the configuration property declared above (skipTests), which can be set in your pom properties
