Running it conditionally in a profile triggered by e.g. -DrunTest or such is not an option?
Or maybe, based on -Das.dir=..., the module would launch that AS using Arquillian, deploy, test, undeploy, stop.
I haven't checked the test itself but I guess it's possible.

The few people who test the QS will know about the option;
and the rest of the world will not need to take care of running AS and deploying.

WDYT?
