To clarify, maven is saying that it failed to execute it's goal (which was verify in this case). If you aren't running any test suites, maven will always record a failure, because it is configured to fail a build when you don't have any tests to run.
There are configurations which will allow maven to build successfully with no tests that can be set in your pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M3</version>
<configuration>
<failIfNoTests>false</failIfNoTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>
With this adjustment, maven will still build when you don't specify any tests. You never specified in your original post what your tests (if you have any) look like, so it's impossible to see if this is what the error is, or something else.
You need to find a way to ignore the test cases. Adding the following maven plugin solves the issue.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.11</version>
<configuration>
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
</configuration>
</plugin>
