It’s executed on Travis servers, which people voluntarily provide to run such jobs. Basically, it listens for commits to a repository and schedules a job, sometimes there can be several jobs run for a given commit, when a merge happens. You can kick it off manually using the “Test service” button from the Webhooks & services view for “Manage Travis CI” in the repository settings (which I don’t have access too). Otherwise, it will automatically go on the next commit to the repo. Once it’s started, it should be visible here: https://travis-ci.org/w3c/csvw <https://travis-ci.org/w3c/csvw>.

Yes it will fail, until documents are moved into place, but the messages will likely be useful anyway. You’ll probably get “Still failing” messages from travis, which I believe you can silence through your settings. It’s also possible to put a “bug” in the repo README that displays the status of the CI tests. For example, the Structured Data Linter runs tests automatically which are shown here: https://travis-ci.org/structured-data/linter <https://travis-ci.org/structured-data/linter>.
