Hi, I agree with Nick, feel free to create a feature branch if that makes your testing easier.
One thing that I'd like to add is if you do not want to have nightly and flaky test to runs on this branch (probably this is the case for this specific feature branch) then you should remove the Jenkinsfiles under dev-support. dev-support/Jenkinsfile dev-support/Jenkinsfile_GitHub dev-support/flaky-tests/flaky-reporting.Jenkinsfile dev-support/flaky-tests/run-flaky-tests.Jenkinsfile I'm not familiar with the job you mentioned so probably you'll need to keep dev-support/adhoc_run_tests/Jenkinsfile.
