Testing blockchains involves understanding the complexities of distributed architectures and the unique challenges they pose.
Key areas to focus on during blockchain testing include transaction integrity, consensus mechanisms, data persistence, security, scalability, and load testing.
Examples of well-structured blockchains for testing and QA purposes include Ethereum, WhiteBIT Blockchain, and Avalanche.
Final tips for blockchain QA engineers include using fuzz testing for smart contracts, validating edge cases in transaction lifecycles, testing in a real node environment, and monitoring logs for subtle bugs.
