Sometimes we may need to debug the unit tests of a project, launched by Maven.

To do this, there is a parameter that causes Maven to wait for a remote debug connection on port 5005, before launching each test::

  mvn -Dmaven.surefire.debug test

More information can be found in the `documentation of the Maven debugging tests plugin`__
