Ever struggled to reproduce a CI failure on your laptop? Two recent enhancements to tmt (Test Management Tool) and Testing Farm bring us closer to identical testing environments:

Testing Environment Profiles consistently set up testing environments. Whether running locally or in CI, you get identical system setup. All custom adjustments and workarounds are in a standard place, properly documented, easy to use and contribute. No more manual tweaking repositories or buildroot, just apply the profile.

Artifact Install plugin brings consistency to package installation. Instead of installing entire Koji builds, only explicitly requested packages are installed, enabling testing of conflicting subpackages. The same approach is used locally and in CI, no more custom dark magic behind the scenes.

These two features are major steps forward to the new pipeline which fully supports multihost testing and, most importantly, brings another level of consistency between CI and user environments.
