The CI server doesn't have any magic environment. It's set up according to
doc/user_manual.md#getting-started. scripts/ci_build.sh and
scripts/vm_smoke_test are expected to be able to run locally or on the server.
Of course, you can run any part of that manually if you are not comfortable
running the whole. This is the motivation of moving to Avocado -- to break the
big script into more maintainable and short pieces, so one could directly see
which particular test case has failed and restart just that one.

This is what the maintainer does for every series. Isar supports many features
on a number of platforms; testing all does cost time. We don't ask that every
developer does that routinely (though that is in your interest to get the patch
applied quickly); responding to a specific failure is enough.


With kind regards,
