Bitcoin test kit review
The Bitcoin project introduced a comprehensive test kit to ensure your blockchain safety and functionality. This article will provide a test kit review, including what type of testing is included and if they cover all possible functional scenarios.
What is a testing venture (TDD)?
Test -based development is a software development process that involves writing automated tests before writing the actual code. The goal is to first write the tests and then introduce the code into the appropriate functionality.
Functional Test Kit
The Bitcoin test kit is based on a Pytest frame that provides a comprehensive set of Python application test tools. The functional test kit has several modules, including:
1
Test Module : This module is responsible for the test and output.
2
Unit Tests
: These tests cover separate resources or methods in the Bitcoin code base.
3
Integration Tests : These tests check if various parts of the code interact correctly.
- System Tests : These tests mimic real -world scenarios to ensure the bitcoin system behaves as expected.
Functional Test Types
The functional test kit includes different types of tests, including:
1
Unit tests : testing isolated individual functions or methods.
- Integration tests : verifying as various parts of the code interact with each other.
3
System Tests : Imitating the real scenarios of the world to ensure that the bitcoin system behaves as expected.
test_runner.py Covers all possible functional scenarios?
Although the test module (test_runner.py) is an essential part of the functional test kit, it does not cover all possible functional scenarios. Test_runner.py tests are focused mainly on:
1
Unit tests : Checking individual functions or methods in the code.
- Integration tests : verifying as various parts of the code interact with each other.
Some potential functional tests that may be absent in `test_runner.py ‘include:
* Network tests : Bitcoin network and its interaction with external services.
* Wallet integration tests : When checking the safe, interact with blockchain and external services.
* Node tests
: imitating the behavior of various knots in the Bitcoin network.
Conclusion
Although “test_runner.py” provides a solid foundation for functional testing, this is not exhaustive. Additional tests are required to ensure that the Bitcoin system is treated as designed in different scenarios. Later, test kit iterations may be broader of system test integration and coverage.
