No, the whole point of the ramp test is that it is standardised.
You always start at the same point (typically 100 or 150w depending on the test protocol) and the target power increases at a constant rate. You "simply" ride at the (increasing) target power until you cannot continue to sustain that power.

The difference are more likely related to the second one being only 17min, with no cadence and with dropouts towards the end? Did something go wrong? Was that the uncalibrated test?

How did both of those tests "feel"?

Nope, always the same*
