# 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](cucumber.io).
# Setup
To get started, please run the following command:
```bash
$ ./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.
