Hi P.K.
Those two Travis CI steps are doing two different things (based on the
flags passed to those Maven commands). The comments in the .travis.yml
are meant to describe the two commands:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/.travis.yml
1) The first command (mvn clean install) is the ONLY one that runs Unit
Tests & Integration Tests. It's role is to run all the tests for all API
classes, and install the resulting JARs in the .m2 (Maven cache) on the
Travis CI server. This command runs from the [src] directory, and
builds/tests *all* core modules.
2) The second command (mvn package) takes those installed JARs, and then
runs a test build of Mirage 2 (for XMLUI) and other modules *from* the
[src]/dspace/ directory (ensuring the "quick build" works).
So, the first command is the one that is often more likely to fail, as
it is where we run our tests. But, the second command is there to also
ensure the quick build and Mirage 2 build process is still working properly.
The reason we split these up is that Travis CI has very strict policies
on memory usage for free accounts (we have a free acct). They could be
run as a single step. But, in the past, doing so often caused us to hit
the Travis CI memory usage limit (at which point Travis *kills* your
tests, and they all result in failures). Splitting them up helps us
remain under that limit.

In the.travis.yml file, why is a
mvn clean install (line 42 of the latest commit on master)
followed by an
mvn package (line 47)
given that the mvn install will ALSO package the project(s)?
(i.e.install seems to be a superset of package in maven terms)

Assuming someone wants to fork and proceed with heavy DSpace
customization, what is the recommended testing strategy?
i.e. which of the tests should be kept in a CI environment like
travis? (apart from our own custom tests we may set up)
(note: 99% of the customization will most likely take place on jspui)
Is there any documentation on dspace's (Unit/Integration) tests?
Thx,
P.K.
