The tests described at the link below are typically vague. Even the date is not announced. The fuel dump test might seem odd for a second flight, but it makes more sense when you consider that the dump capability could mitigate the effects of other failures as testing progresses. If using the dump might appear in an emergency checklist, you need to know if it works before you add that step.
