In Maven you have to depend on some artifact. Unless tests are packaged into a jar file you can't depend on them. So you either need to move the resources into production code or you need to create jar with tests:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.2</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <goals>
          <goal>test-jar</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

Then you can depend on it:

<dependency>
  <groupId>groupId</groupId>
  <artifactId>artifactId</artifactId>
  <type>test-jar</type>
  <version>version</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
