It's not an issue, it's how we configure job on CI.
In order to have jobs continuing to run tests after a failure and get 
maximal feedback and distinguish RED and YELLOW, we use the 
-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true and -Dmaven.test.error.ignore=true 
(don't try it at home or at school!). So the job continue after a test 
failure, runs following test suites and so on, and in the end says 
"BUILD SUCCESSFUL" independently of test results.
Then the Jenkins JUnit plugin looks at test reports to check how tests 
behaved. This Jenkins JUnit plugin then decides to make job BLUE or 
YELLOW according to test results.
