SSH development questions

Hi,

I would like to contribute to OpenSSH. Theo pointed out that development first 
takes place on OpenBSD, than ported.

My first steps where
 - installation of OpenBSD 5.3
 - CVS downloaded /usr/src from -current branch
 - compiling/linking /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh/ (following the README)

Now I would like to do some changes to the sources and contribute a patch.
My main questions is
 What is the official/recommended procedure to do the testing after my 
changes?
 Especially without installing the freshly installed (and perhaps notworking) 
software.

I found a directory /usr/src/regress/usr.bin/ssh where I could 'make regress', 
but that seems to test the installed programs.

Thanks, Tim
