Blockchain infrastructure testing

Infrastructure testing of the blockchain network involves verifying the end-to-end blockchain core network, and its various components are operating as expected. Our infrastructure testing includes

• Peer/Node testing
• Network integrity testing
• API and message integration testing
• Node consensus testing

Functional testing

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, the consensus among nodes, acceptance of new messages, and validation of their expected behavior. Our team identifies relevant scenarios and builds use cases after studying the ecosystem with engineering teams.

Integration Testing

Integration testing in the blockchain ecosystem is very critical due to the technical and functional diversity of applications and environments. Our team validates the following during integration testing:

• Interfaces between the components of the blockchain.
• Integration and performance of the connected internal ecosystem.
• Message formats and integration touchpoints with third-party applications and API’s.
• Node consensus testing

Security Testing

A blockchain network is only as secure as its infrastructure. Our team performs security validation at a transaction, block, and network-level for both public or private blockchain networks. This service covers:

• Identity/access testing for users and administrators.
• Data integrity testing to assess the ease of modifying data and assess its impact on application behavior.
• Encryption security and safety standards to prevent any misuse and misappropriation.

Magic FinServ has partnered with Consensys to leverage Mythx for Security Testing.

Performance Testing

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. Our team explores relevant tools and creates bespoke automation scripts to rapidly performance test the blockchain core and applications.
