I don't think it matters where you test it as long as you are prepared to vouch for it working in a real setup. I haven't used UML, and only one person has posted to the list about using LVS with UML. UML is a hairy setup written by a very bright person, but I personally wouldn't accept tests run under UML as verifying that it will work on a real multinode setup.

I wonder what the test cases would be.

This is part of the problem. You have to understand the code that's being patched, and run tests to show

o the functionality that wasn't changed is still working

o the functionality that has changed is working

o the new functionality is working

o what we know doesn't work

o what we didn't test.

just making this list up is an effort itself.
