Yeah, this happens since we use gnu parallel to make better use of 
travis-ci hardware for the functional tests. This suppresses output 
until everything finished, so if one part of the functional tests takes 
a long time, travis-ci sometimes kills the build.

I'm currently working on systematically speeding up the functional tests 
for everyone - now that our 6500 unit tests are done in ~20 seconds I 
want more performance for functionals, too. I have an idea on how to do 
that, but need some time to see if it helps.

For the meantime, patch [1] at least further mitigates the travis-ci 
timeout issue.

Furthermore, I've worked hard on test environment stuff and now have a 
patch that uses composer for the unit and functional test setup. This 
way we do not need ext:phpunit and the travis-integration github 
repository any longer, and it is now much easier to establish and run 
the test suites. The patch is pending with [2] and documented in [4] and 
[5].

Next steps are to further simplify and document a setup for other 
extensions to run own tests in travis. I'll start on that soon, and I 
guess people like Georg Ringer with his news extension will be very 
happy to see something evolving in this area.

If all that is done, we can consider the "test standalone" blueprint [3] 
as done.
