Hi Niels, You're probably not getting many answers because this isn't the right place to ask. The mailinglist is about development of the Bitcoin protocol and conventions about its usage across multiple applications. If you want to learn about the Bitcoin Core software and its testing infrastructure, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/contribute/ Cheers, -- Pieter
