Make Jenkins build failed when Maven unit test failed

There are ways to do it, and I prefer the first option:

• Keep the Maven Jenkins job and explicitly add -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false option.
• Using a FreeStyle Jenkins job template.
• Split the Maven Jenkins job in several build steps and only execute the next one if the previous was strictly successful (and not successful/unstable).
  • A first step would be the classic "mvn clean install".
  • Keep others in the rest of the steps.
