Hi!

Recently I've been working with some tests and I noticed that we have pretty large number of Maven profiles responsible for selecting which test suites should be executed:

• test-CI
• test-functional
• test-jgroups
• test-transaction
• test-unit
• test-unstable
• test-xsite

Perhaps some of them might be removed and we could create some more useful hierarchy. Here is my proposition:

• test-smoke - all unit test with some basic functional tests based on Arquillian. This profile would be invoked by default and with our CI server.  There is already a ticket to implement such profile in Jira [1]. I think it would be a good practice to reject all Pull Requests which fail against this profile.
• test-acceptance - Full test suite without performance test. This should be executed once a day (nightly profile?)
• test-performance - Reserved for performance/stress tests.
• test-code-quality - test-acceptance with Sonar, Firebug, Jacoco or any other tool for measuring code quality. Executed once a day.

In my opinion above hierarchy will help to identify serious problems faster and will help us in productisation stream.

What do you think?
