I was hoping for a failfast behavior for surefire as well. My reason is that
we are running a set of functional tests that take a long time to execute
(say 2 hours), we require all of them to succeed but only know at the end if
it did. I wonder if this feature ever made it to surefire (can't see any
argument like that on surefire's documentation). For us, it'd work if
surefire would take mvn argument -ff (--fail-fast) into account (though as I
understand it, is really meant for reactor builds only).
