  What are you trying to test for ? If the goal is to try patches before
submitting them on this list, make check and make syntax-check are the
only requirement.
  Now if you built a modified version and want to test this, you can use
libvirt-test-API and the libvirt-tck, or run the openstack regression tests
with libvirt using your mods (but best is to make sure those mods get upstream
first to avoid loosing a lot of time).
