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,
