Filtering tests with Maven

As we already know, we need to use  maven-surefire-plugin in a Maven project to execute Jupiter test. Moreover, this plugin allows us to filter the test execution in several ways: filtering by JUnit 5 tags and also using the regular inclusion/exclusion support of maven-surefire-plugin.
