Running tests requires lots of preparation. Looking at the .travis.yml will tell you what to do but you'd still need to do it manually. It would be good to have this process made easier, i.e. everything that can be should be in a single script performing all preparation.
Things like dependencies should have a documented alternative way to achieve it, i.e. self-compiling to a custom prefix and exporting the correct variables. We might even add that to the script as well if we can't find them. Thus making the process of testing a lot easier on intial setup.
