Jmeter 4.0: Not able to run maven test. Not picks .jmx tests - jmeter

Question

I have created maven project for jmeter4.0.
My .jmx file is at /src/test/target location.
When I runs 'mvn verify' command , it shows Build Success but in surefire-reports folder, there are no results/ Also there are no any logs showing test was run.
Can anyone please help me in sorting this.
My pom.xml is as follows. Thanks.

As per documentation the correct location of tests is src/test/jmeter
Once you have created your JMeter tests, you'll need to copy them to /src/test/jmeter. By default this plugin will pick up all the .jmx files in that directory, to specify which tests should be run please see the project documentation.
You can also put data files in this folder and reference them in your plan.
The latest version of JMeter Maven Plugin is 2.7.0>, it is compatible with JMeter 4.0 and you should be using the latest JMeter version as per JMeter Best Practices
