/etc/make.conf is not there by default, but you can create it and add a
line:

WITH_TESTS="yes"

After you do that, you should rebuild everything and install everything as
per the steps listed here:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/Makefile?revision=271168&view=markup#l70


and the tests should be visible under /usr/tests .

No, "continuous build" and 'Build Flow Plugin" are not required to run the
tests.
You should focus on building the tests and running them manually before
using "continuous integration".

No, you do not need Bhyve to run the tests.


Feel free to ask any additional questions on freebsd-testing at freebsd.org,
so that we
can clarify the steps.
