How Do You Test Blockchain Applications?

Blockchain application testing is really not much different from any other application you would test. The same logic and critical thinking you already use for testing non-blockchain projects still apply.

Blockchain applications require all standard testings and validations procedures like integration testing, security testing and performance testing, but when performing blockchain apps testing it require a complete different mindset and specialized testing capabilities. Scenario work here accordingly with Smart Contract testing, Node testing, Non functional testing.

As on the blockchain more industries move into it, to explore the its unlimited opportunities, and when on ground it pose new challenges opportunities for the testing and validation community.

Of course, the individuals working on blockchain applications need to possess amazing mathematical and cryptographic skills, but when it comes down to it most of the work that’s being done is just normal development work with normal testing criteria.

Many of the testing techniques you already know, like testing at the boundary, performance testing, compliance and especially security testing, apply to blockchain. Sometimes its just a matter of getting familiar with some of the common blockchain testing tools that are already out there.
