You can configure surefire plugin in your pom.xml to include/exclude tests based on their names, and use different configuration for the profiles you want to run these tests on.
Something like:

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>without-tests</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>3.0.0-M5</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <excludes>
                            <exclude>**/someTests.java</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>without-other-tests</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>3.0.0-M5</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <excludes>
                            <exclude>**/otherTests.java</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>
</profiles>

Name the tests you dont want to run with a suffix that enables you to group them ...

e.g. sometimes we use ...FunctionalTest to label functional tests. These tests can then be grouped/included/excluded when running unit tests, as a part of the standard build.
