If You’re Interested In Blockchain Testing, Checkout These 2 Testing Suites To Get Started

Blockchain is a complicated technology.

Luckily, everything you need to know to get started, is available in abundance, under the tag of Web3, for free.

Blockchain Testing, though, needs a crystal clear understanding of this complicated technology.

Testing a Blockchain-based application or a blockchain involves know-how of its functional components like block, mining, smart contracts, transactions, API, wallets and the user interface of a typical decentralized application.

To get started, let's have a look at these two suites:

Ethereum Tester

Ethereum Tester is a testing tool for Ethereum-based applications.

It is a tool that allows a development team to easily fire up an Ethereum environment to create blocks, mining, and transactions via its API.

It has Web3 integration and helps developers to test on a production-like mock environment.

Truffle Suite

The Truffle Suite is a complete development and testing environment for blockchains based on Ethereum using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

It consists of -

Truffle

A development and testing environment to build and test smart contracts that can be easily deployed.

Ganache

It is a personal blockchain easily deployable in a local environment. It works with Ethereum and Corda technology for easy development, deployment and testing of dApps (Distributed Apps) in a local environment.

Drizzle

It is a front-end library to create and test the front-end for dApps. It can be easily synced with underlying data and contracts for complete end-to-end development and testing experience.

Testing involves creating a clear strategy and use of purposeful tools and frameworks.

Blockchain Testing can be tricky and the biggest caveat is a lack of clear availability of information, tools and frameworks.

There are other tools and frameworks available for hosts of different blockchain implementations.

I hope the above-listed tools help anyone get started with the Ethereum-related blockchains.
