No specific tips. Beware of QEMU port forwarding: it doesn’t allow you
to really diagnose what’s going on if you can’t connect from the host to
the guest (it’s hard to tell if that’s because the service in the guest
is not running.) So on a few occasions I found that I’d first try
connecting from within the guest as my first attempt (using
‘marionette-eval’), to see if this would work at all.
Sometimes you’ll also want to just run a VM of the system under test
interactively so experiment a bit.
HTH,
Ludo’.
