Blockchain Applications Testing

Blockchain Testing Services We Offer

Functional Testing

We verify that all functional requirements have been implemented and evaluate the correct functioning of all use cases and components, including block and chain size and data transfer.

Performance Testing

Our team checks the throughput of the system through which the interaction with the blockchain goes, identifies performance problems under heavy load to check the market readiness and scalability of the app.

Security Testing

Our cryptocurrency QA team detects and eliminates bottlenecks sensitive to malicious attacks, viruses, and malware by checking the code and all stages of encryption, transmission, processing, and storage of data.

API Testing

Our blockchain testing specialists check the correct formatting and processing of API requests and responses to ensure the correct interaction of the software application with the blockchain ecosystem.

What is blockchain testing?

Blockchain testing is a procedure for verifying the correct operation of all blockchain components and the reliability of its interaction with other applications.

Blockchain application testing has the following features:

Creating a testing environment. All operations performed in the blockchain chain change the state of the network. Adding or changing records requires miners' resources, and therefore requires a commission. Reality checks can be expensive. Testing on a test network will help avoid costs: you can deploy your own, or you can use a ready-made one.
Irreversibility of operations. Blockchain-based applications are decentralized. The application code is open and available to anyone. The absence of a central server leads to the fact that 99% of errors, failures, substitutions, any other illegal actions in the blockchain cannot be reversed. If an operation is added to the blockchain, it must be correct. This places the highest level of responsibility on the testing team. After all, a missed defect will almost always be critical.
Paid transactions. The tester's task is to check how the addition and processing of transactions in the blockchain will take place. However, it should be remembered that all records in the blockchain are paid, which imposes its own peculiarities on the testing process. For example, when working with bitcoin, it should be borne in mind that, in addition to the transfer amount, a commission for the work of miners will be charged from above. When working with Ethereum, the calculation will be performed in the abstract Gas value (the currency for settlements within the network). It is important for a tester to know that the size of the transfer cannot be less than the size of the commission. Otherwise, it will be disadvantageous for the platform to support operations.

Why is blockchain testing important?

Testing blockchain applications is very important because blocks already added to the blockchain cannot be changed. If you change something in it, then all other blocks of the blockchain become invalid. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that the blocks are added correctly initially.

Testing blockchain applications is not much different from testing regular applications and resembles functional testing of a payment system. Test cases include checking balances, fields, transaction statuses, the ability to withdraw the same funds twice.

Test scripts are based on predefined requirements. In addition to taking into account the requirements, the tester must logically evaluate the operation of the application and show imagination, because, as you know, users do not always use the product the way the developer expected.

The following types of testing will help ensure the high quality of products built on blockchain technology:

Functional testing. It will indicate whether all functional requirements have been met.
Load testing. It will help assess the throughput of the system through which the interaction with the blockchain is going.
Security testing. Blockchains are anonymous, so any owner of a private key is the rightful owner of funds and has the ability to sign transactions. The system for storing and encrypting keys is vulnerable and is of interest to attacks. Penetration testing can help identify and eliminate bottlenecks.

As with any project, automation is both possible and desirable. You can automate all validations, contract processing. It is convenient to compare the test results by analyzing information from the blockchain or by sending requests to indexers.

How much time will it take to test blockchain?

Blockchain is, first of all, the functionality of an application. In 90% of cases, it is a kind of payment system. The tests, respectively, will be about the same as when testing payments: validation of parameters, checking the successful completion of a transaction, checking additional conditions from the requirements. The term for blockchain QA testing depends on the complexity of the system.
