3. test – test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code to be packaged or deployed package – take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
4. integration-test – process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run
5. verify – run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria
6. install – install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
7. deploy – done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
