Alexandra replied to me (privately) a couple of days ago confirming that
she has tested both code paths.

Right in "standalone mode". It's far easier than it once was and we've
been squashing speedbumps as new people try it.

You do need some infrastructure such as PXE and dhcp and at least two
machines (controller + test host). I think it would be overkill for a
change of this magnitude (if that's what you were driving at).

I think
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=osstest.git;a=blob;f=README;h=9a85549cb600fa5be91bcbae6605f78616db63da;hb=2aa4fe7a4b138e5e88387af66f4fe14039a1f7ea is the best starting point for osstest, including standalone mode operation.
