**[Kristian Rosenvold](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=krosenvold)** opened **[SUREFIRE-893](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-893?redirect=false)** and commented

The feature matrix indicates that not all providers support all features,
but some providers do not throw exceptions if the feature is attempted used.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin-2.12.1/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/featurematrix.html

Add mechanism to throw exception when a provider does not support a feature.

Research direction

Start with the Maven Surefire provider feature matrix linked in the issue and inspect the Maven Surefire plugin's provider handling. Identify how unsupported features are currently attempted; done means unsupported provider features consistently throw an exception instead of being silently accepted.
