We recommend using Travis for continuous-integration
based testing. Review the Travis configuration file (.travis.yml) as a
reference for running the test locally, should you choose to do so.
The tests include an integration test suite that builds a data environment from
scratch, including the installation process. (This is the -b flag to the test
script lib/pkp/tools/runAllTests.sh; this is also executed in the Travis
environment.)
