Testing Strategy

[holgerd77]

Description

This library is currently completely untested, there is just a stub test file in the tests folder allowing for the basic CI setup, which is already running.

While most of the module functionality is tested in the different EthereumJS repositories like ethereumjs-blockchain, ethereumjs-block or ethereumjs-devp2p, there have to be integration tests testing the interplay of the different modules in the client context as well as the CL entrypoints of the client.

Possible Implementation

Some ideas for tests, partly taken from py-EVM:

• DB and directory initialization tests
• CLI option tests, undefined behaviour
• RPC method tests

Reference Implementations / Links

• py-EVM Trinity tests

I'd like to work on the first task, DB and directory initialization tests, if anyone else is at it, hope to have something ready soon :)

Cool! 👍

Is this still an issue or can it be closed?

This can probably be closed since I finished writing all the unit tests that get us to over 90% coverage in #70. I would still like to see some integration tests done to make sure components are working together correctly. I've created a new issue for this: #73 so we can close down this one.
