# Building Backend Application

# Build, Test & Package

Let’s edit azure-pipelines.yml file to add a build application stage with a build backend application job.

stages :
 - stage: Build
   displayName: Build Application
   jobs:
     - job: Backend
       displayName: Build Backend Application

Next, by using Maven Task you are going to build the application using Maven goals clean package and a JDK 1.8. Don’t forget to set publishJUnitResults to true.

Now your build is failing as there is test failure. You can see the details of tests executions in Tests View.

Let’s correct it.
