I cannot say anything for media, but for netdev we have the count
before and after the patch is applied. If the count goes up, the test
fails. We also generate a unified diff between the outputs, which is
enough to be able to tell the developer what they missed.

In theory, anybody can do the same on their own devel machine:

I've no idea how many developers actually do.
