The first step would be to use Tramp's test suite. How have you
installed Emacs? I guess it is a distribution on macOS, which hasn't
included the test suite. You will see it, whether your Emacs
installation comes with the file test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el.
Pls check this first, and if the file does not exist, ask the
distributor of your Emacs, whether all the Emacs tests can be provided
as well. Personally, I don't use macOS myself, so I cannot answer this
question.
Once you know the status, we could check how to continue.
