Testing a Maven submodule - maven

Question

I'm working on a html2pdf (GitHub project) customization. So I've downloaded the source code and I've imported it into the Eclipse Oxygen. I'm trying to execute the tests of this project, but every maven goal I run has no effect on the project. Yet, I've tried to execute the command explained here (To run tests), but nothing has happened.
So, my newbie question is: How can I run the tests of this project?
Here is the pom.xml
