corda/experimental/behave

Introduction

This project illustrates how one can use Cucumber / BDD to drive and test homogeneous and heterogeneous Corda networks on a local machine. The framework has built-in support for Dockerised node dependencies so that you easily can spin up a Corda node locally that, for instance, uses a 3rd party database provider such as MS SQL Server or Postgres.

Structure

The project is split into three pieces:

• Testing Library (main) - This library contains auxiliary functions that help in configuring and bootstrapping Corda networks on a local machine. The purpose of the library is to aid in black-box testing and automation.

• Unit Tests (test) - These are various tests for the library described above. Note that there's only limited coverage for now.

• BDD Framework (scenario) - This module shows how to use BDD-style frameworks to control the testing of Corda networks; more specifically, using Cucumber.

Setup

To get started, please run the following command:

$ ./prepare.sh

This script will download necessary database drivers and set up the dependencies directory with copies of the Corda fat-JAR and the network bootstrapping tool.
