Description

**[Arman Sharif](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=armandino)** opened **[SUREFIRE-2197](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-2197?redirect=false)** and commented

I have a pom with 2 executions of the failsafe plugin which is configured as described here:

https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/usage.html#running-integration-tests-multiple-times

I would like the build to fail and _not_ run the second `` if the first one has a test failure. It seems the plugin does not honour the `skipAfterFailureCount` in this case.

**Expected behaviour:**
Build fails after the first test failure
 
**Actual:**
Build continues to execute

**Minimal sample project:**

**Affects:** 3.1.2

Research direction

Start with the Maven Failsafe configuration in the linked minimal sample project and compare its two plugin executions with the documented multiple-executions setup. Trace how skipAfterFailureCount is handled after the first execution, then verify that a failing first execution prevents the second from running and that the build fails as expected.
