Testing Blockchain applications is complex and challenging because technology is evolving and testing skills and tools are not standardized. The validation methods, however, are the same but require specialized skills and capabilities.
Smart Contract testing is largely about performing detailed functional testing of business logic and process. Magic QA team leverages tools like Ganache(Testrpc) , Nodejs, Truffle(Framework) , Chai Assertion Library, Linux, Web3.js, Remix-IDE with expertise over Solidity, The programming language for Ethereum smart contracts. In addition, our team performs the following activities:
Infrastructure testing of the Blockchain network involves verifying whether the end-to-end Blockchain core network and its various components are operating as expected. Magic QA performs the following activities to ensure that infrastructure is validated:
Functional Testing validates the Blockchain core, its subsystems, and associated technical and business processes. In the context of the Blockchain ecosystem, functional testing involves a test engineer to validate the network setup, node creation, ecosystem operational correctness, message injection, consensus among nodes, acceptance of new messages, and validation of their expected behavior. Magic QA team identifies relevant scenarios and builds use cases after studying the ecosystem with engineering teams.
Integration testing in the Blockchain ecosystem is very critical due to the technical and functional diversity of applications and environments. Magic QA team validates the following during integration testing:
A Blockchain network is only as secure as its infrastructure. Magic QA team performs security validation at a transaction, block, and network level for both public or private Blockchain networks. This service covers:
Performance testing verifies the performance and the latency within the Blockchain network. Performance testing in Blockchain includes identifying performance bottlenecks, defining the metrics for tuning the system, and gauging the scalability of the application. Magic QA team explores relevant tools and creates bespoke automation scripts to rapidly performance test the Blockchain core and applications.
Magic provides QA consulting services and works with its clients to set up a QA operating model and strategy that is appropriate for the practices, culture, needs, and operating environment of an organization.
