Why does Maven report success without running my newly named test?

Step-by-step guidance
Test discovery has naming and engine rules. A file called
InvoiceChecks.java may compile without matching the active Surefire inclusion configuration.
Inspect the test count and generated reports, then compare the filename with explicit includes/excludes. Use an included name such as InvoiceTest or intentionally configure that suite. Verify the required engine is on the test classpath; renaming cannot install it.
Temporarily make one assertion fail and confirm the command fails for that test, then restore it. A zero exit code with zero discovered tests does not show the behavior was exercised. IDE discovery can differ from the release command.Sources and verification
