There were a lot of attempts to have such feature in JUnit.
See the issue https://github.com/junit-team/junit/issues/1226
Can we close this issue in Maven group?
> Support for annotated JUnit @Category
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-833
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-833
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Junit 4.x support
> Affects Versions: 2.12
> Reporter: Jan Goyvaerts
> Attachments: SUREFIRE-833-spraguep-2.patch,

> The current implementation of Surefire seems to look for explicit @Category
> annotations in the test classes. And will only consider those. Suppose I'd
> like to add a more concise annotation for this:
> @Category(IntegrationTests.class) <== JUnit @Category
> @Target({ElementType.TYPE})
> @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
> @Documented
> public @interface IntegrationTest {}
> Annotating my test class with @IntegrationTest does not work. Although I
> think it looks much better than repeating everywhere in my code
> "@Category(com.foo.bar.IntegrationTests.class)". For which I add an
> additional dependency in the interface class btw.
