I have the responsibility to make some modifications and customise source tree as per the demands.Can i get some suggestions on what would be the best way to test the changes i make? Majorly I need to make changes to the current commands and some minor changes to the kernal. I haven't done such a task before (like building a complete OS) so i am pretty much clueless. Would really appreciate getting some help. Kind regards, Peter
How extensive are your changes?
You can build an entire release:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-build.html
You can build everything other than the kernel, or the kernel itself:

Without knowing what your changes will be, describing testing is a
challenge.
