Are the tests safe to run in an package building environment?

As in, they do not touch the real physical IPMI on the host?

All tests, including smoke and unit tests, are relying on fake test data without touching IPMI or the HW.
The only difference is that smoke tests are using predefined test data and configuration from the test directory while unit tests are dynamically creating and deleting test data in /tmp folder.

Only bash and Python is required for the execution. ipmitool and smartctl commands are substituted with shell scripts.

Unit test are also executed in github for each commit. So, I would say execution of the tests is safe.
