Testing applications in a regtest development environment with the ElectrumSV SDK
#1about 5 minutes
Comparing public testnets with a regtest environment
Regtest provides greater control for testing events like reorgs, while public testnets offer a more realistic simulation of production network latency.
#2about 5 minutes
Getting started with the ElectrumSV SDK
The SDK simplifies setting up a local regtest node on any platform and provides commands for starting, stopping, and funding a wallet.
#3about 4 minutes
Running a local merchant API instance
The SDK automates the setup of a local merchant API instance, which is a standard service for end-to-end acceptance testing.
#4about 7 minutes
Simulating a blockchain reorg for testing
Use Python scripts with the SDK as a library to create a fork between two nodes and simulate a transaction reorg.
#5about 2 minutes
Using a regtest environment for application benchmarking
A regtest environment removes network latency, allowing for repeatable performance tests and easier debugging of correctness issues under heavy load.
#6about 2 minutes
Understanding the limitations of the SDK
The SDK's installation process requires manual setup of dependencies and may not work with applications that rely on closed-source services.
#7about 4 minutes
Future improvements inspired by Ethereum's Ganache
The SDK could be improved by creating a one-click installer with a browser-based GUI, similar to development tools like Ganache in the Ethereum ecosystem.
