Testing framework: pytest
Include pytest option -s to output the test prints; -v to list all the test methods.
To run following tests, pytest and pytest-asyncio need be installed.
pip install pytest pytest-asyncio
The current modules have a lot of dependencies, so unit tests are very small, mainly concerning initializations.
pytest tests/unit/
pytest tests/unit/test_interledger.py
This test set is richer than unit test set. In this set there are most of the methods provided by the modules, which can be tested without any other external resource / service.
pytest tests/integration/
pytest tests/integration/test_interledger.py
This test set is not self-dependent. The modules interacting with ethereum need a local ethereum instance running. These examples use ganache-cli.
Testing Ethereum Initiator and Responder: One instance running on port 7545
ganache-cli -p 7545
pytest tests/system/test_ethereuminitiator.py
pytest tests/system/test_ethereumresponder.py
These tests examine the correctness of different modules of EthereumInitiator and EthereumResponder classes.
Testing Ethereum Initiator and Responder: These tests examine the correctness of KsiResponder's functionalities.
pytest tests/system/test_ethereumresponder.py
pytest tests/system/test_interledger_ethereum_ksi.py
NOTE The credintial for ksi should be specified in local-config file before running following tests.
Testing timeouts
To run these tests run ganache-cli without auto-mining: add the flag -b 1 which sets up a mining time of 1 second.
ganache-cli -p 8545 -b 1
pytest tests/system/test_timeout_.py
This test checks behavior of different modules of EthereumInitiator and EthereumResponder classes under timeout condition.
NOTE Having the -b option always activated will slow down all the other tests.
Testing Interledger: Two instances running on ports 7545 and 7546
ganache-cli -p 7545
ganache-cli -p 7546
pytest tests/system/
pytest tests/system/test_interledger_ethereum.py
This test examine both way communication between two different ledgers which is controlled by the interledger component.
To evaluate the cost and performance in throughput, the following measurements can be carried out.
First set up the test networks respectively, setting a block time with the -b flag.
ganache-cli -p 7545 -b 1
ganache-cli -p 7546 -b 1
The next step is to deploy the sample GameToken smart contract on the test networks above, respectively.
make migrate-left
make migrate-right
This way, the measurement of total gas usage and elapsed time of complete processes of the sample GameToken transfer with and without the Interledger component can be extracted by running the following tests.
pytest tests/system/test_measurement_interledger_ethereum.py
pytest tests/system/test_measurement_e2e_ethereum.py
Note that the comparison measurement without using the component is conducted by the following. In this case, the GameTokenWithoutInterledger smart contract should be used on ledgers of both sides.
cd solidity
truffle migrate --reset --f 7 --network left
truffle migrate --reset --f 7 --network right
Above steps are to be taken to deploy that smart contract for comparision purposes.
Similarly, the performance when processing simultaneous incoming transfers can be tested and analyzed by running the following two tests respectively, after the same set up above.
pytest tests/system/ethereum_with_interledger_multiple.py
pytest tests/system/ethereum_without_interledger_multiple.py
Note the first one above is for simultaneous GameToken smart contract transfers with interledger, while the second one is for the comparison without the component, where GameTokenWithoutInterledger smart contract should be deployed and used.
