So this means that the host running the test should have capability to SSH to the DB Instance host ?

Thanks,

I think if you set PGHOST and other relevant libpq environment variables,
an installcheck run will connect where they specify.  The hard part would
be making sure that (a) your test files match the remote server's version
and (b) the various .so files loaded by the tests exist on the remote host
at the same filesystem locations expected by the tests.
