Yes, but if that were guaranteed, there would be no reason to run them!  :)

The test suite is not perfect; it evolves, and there are bugs in it
as with any other software.

It is your role as a developer and as a user of the test suite to
investigate failures, and discern where the problem lies.

In general, the test suite works.  Busy filesystems at unmount are
not a common result, so you need to try to find out why you are
running into that, and what the root cause may be ...

Running on a usb stick is not something the core xfs developers do,
so you may well run into unique issues.
