There is plenty of scope for improving the tests.
A key improvement will be to use validated output for the validation and miniapp
to provide some validation.

There were some small fixes required to make the tests pass on Travis

    communication/mpi.hpp now sets default size and rank values of 1 and 0 respectively
    to allow all unit tests to p...
