Hi Gus,

You may not need to self host, you could create an SSH tunnel to support your testing using a hosted platform such as the Wave API behind the firewall.
Here's an article with some helpful info: http://blog.trackets.com/2014/05/17/ssh-tunnel-local-and-remote-port-forwarding-explained-with-examples.html <http://blog.trackets.com/2014/05/17/ssh-tunnel-local-and-remote-port-forwarding-explained-with-examples.html>;

But a faster/easier solution is https://ngrok.com/ <https://ngrok.com/>

In the open source space you have a number of good options which you can self host, Googles accessibility developer tools might be a good place to start.

At Tenon.io some of our customers choose an SSH tunnel over an enterprise install. If you're set on self hosting though there are a number of options. Disclaimer, I'm the co-founder of http://tenon.io <http://tenon.io/>; and we are big Jenkins fans. Please feel free to contact me about how we can support Jenkins.
