'Why do I get this message (Set -DfailIfNoTests=false to ignore this error.) while running my test code?

I am using maven while building my java project, and I am using JUnit5 framework to test, when I tried to running the test code, I got this message:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.10:test (default-cli) on project transaction-processor: No tests were executed!  (Set -DfailIfNoTests=false to ignore this error.) -> [Help 1]

this is the POM.xml:

I added the following plugin info in POM file that solved the problem.

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.0.0-M5</version>                    
            </plugin>
