The Flying Courier is working to deliver everything you need to know about Patch 7.07.] In a rare move, Valve has announced Wednesday. Fans have also noticed that Valve has been pushing changes to the game’s “backstage” Dota 2 test client at all hours of the day—and with increasing frequency.
How can I test certain mechanics (for example whether Manta Style gets you out of Treant Protector's ultimate).
Currently what I do is host a game, get a friend to play the other side, set to appropriate levels via cheats, and then test. This though always requires 2 players involved.
How do I do it solo? I tried for example '-spawnhero Treant Protector', but either he wasn't spawned, or I couldn't find him, so that was useless to me.
I know there has to be a way, since the DotaCinema MythBusters does similar tests, but how?

Those commands works in Test Client and that too only in Test Mode
You need to install dota2 client first and start that version and then you create a lobby game and may or may not choose any friends to play with you since you can spawn friend/enemy heros using commands.
But for those commands to work, you need to check 'Cheat Enabled' options in the seetttings before you start the game
Once you do that you can try all that stuff
Example,
-createhero npc_dota_hero_clinkz -- this will create bone clinkz as ally
-createhero npc_dota_hero_lina enemy -- this will create lina as enemy
Note that they spawn near to you
Here is the complete list of commands and actual names/codes of items and heros

Testing out heroes, skills and items without any interuption (and gold problems) can be done in the lobbies. Just start a game without bots like you did for your first game, but this time, tick the button 'activate cheats'. Start the game.

Here you are again. Pick a hero and go into the game. Now to those cheat commands that are meant to help you testing. You can enter them by using the chat, so press enter, fill in the command (for example: '-wtf' without the quotes) and press enter again. You will only need a little amount of codes to test out all the skills and items: -wtf: removes cooldown on all skills and items-lvlup 10: will levelup your hero for 10 levels, use any number you like, max lvl is 25

will grant you 12345 gold, use any number you like, there is a maximum of gold you can possess (about 16,5k) so do not be surprise if you can't fill your pockets with millions -createhero heroname: creates a hero. heroname is a bit tricky, most of the time it is the heroname itself, while spaces are converte to underscore: _ , so for example instead of '-createhero witch doctor' you would enter -createhero witch_doctor'. Enter the learn tab if you want to find out hero names (press on the button on the very top left side to access the main menu while playing) if you want to create the hero on enemy side, use: -createhero heroname enemy -levelbots 10: will levelup all heroes except your picked hero to level 10, use a number between 1 and 25 -spawn_creeps: spawns creeps on lanes -spawn_neutrals: spawns creeps in forest Thats about it. Create the heroes you want to test, level them up, spawn some creeps to use the abilities on or just go and buy all items there are that offer special abilities. Turn off auto attack in options for testing ease.
