After understanding the growing market size and architecture of blockchain technology, let’s dive into how test automation can be achieved in this technology in order to achieve a successful blockchain app.
Blockchain is altogether a different platform when compared to the existing centralized ways of storing data. Testing data integrity and security is important, both on individual nodes and as seen from application front end. Automation should focus on the following cases:
Creation of a new transaction
Rollback of unsuccessful transactions
Handling over-sized blocks
Node failover scenarios
Secure data transmission of transaction hash codes
Block insertion as per SLA
Bulk insertion of blocks
Data integrity and availability scenarios like:
Testing the blockchain apps require some tools for providing dummy Ethereum server and accounts with balance. Following are the recommended tools available which aids both development and testing of blockchain technology:
Blockchain may seem very shiny and easy to adopt. However, it’s really important to understand the current application and implementation of blockchain technology which will help determine the growth path and future challenges while planning its test automation.
