In a multi-module Maven project, how can you ensure that a module does not build its artifact if its tests fail?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer

A. Configure the build to run the test phase before the package phase

Why

By default, Maven executes the 'test' phase before the 'package' phase. If tests fail, the build process halts, preventing artifact creation. This is a built-in behavior of Maven.
