๐Ÿงช Testing Strategy

Comprehensive testing approach for the BLGV Bitcoin-native ecosystem.

๐ŸŽฏ Testing Philosophyโ€‹

Bitcoin-First Testingโ€‹

  • No Mock Data: All tests use regtest environment or real API responses
  • Real-Time Testing: WebSocket connections and live data streams
  • Security-First: Authentication, authorization, and Bitcoin operations
  • Mobile-First: Primary testing on mobile devices and responsive layouts

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Test Pyramidโ€‹

Unit Tests (70%)โ€‹

// Treasury calculations
describe('Bitcoin-per-Share Calculations', () => {
it('should calculate BPS correctly', () => {
const btcHoldings = 6.39316479;
const sharesOutstanding = 88100000;
const bps = calculateBPS(btcHoldings, sharesOutstanding);
expect(bps).toBeCloseTo(0.0000726);
});
});

// API response validation
describe('Treasury API', () => {
it('should return valid treasury data structure', async () => {
const response = await getTreasuryData();
expect(response).toMatchObject({
btcHoldings: expect.any(Number),
navPerShare: expect.any(Number),
treasuryValue: expect.any(Number)
});
});
});

Integration Tests (20%)โ€‹

// Platform integration
describe('Treasury-DEX Integration', () => {
it('should sync fee collections', async () => {
const dexFees = await getDEXFees();
const treasuryUpdate = await updateTreasuryFromDEX(dexFees);
expect(treasuryUpdate.success).toBe(true);
});
});

// Database operations
describe('Multi-Schema Database', () => {
it('should operate across schemas correctly', async () => {
const treasuryData = await db.treasury.getTreasuryMetrics();
const dexData = await db.dex.getMarketData();
const poolData = await db.pool.getMiningStats();

expect(treasuryData).toBeDefined();
expect(dexData).toBeDefined();
expect(poolData).toBeDefined();
});
});

E2E Tests (10%)โ€‹

// Complete user workflows
describe('Mobile App E2E', () => {
it('should complete treasury workflow', async () => {
// Launch app
await device.launchApp();

// Authenticate
await element(by.id('biometric-auth')).tap();
await device.matchBiometric();

// Navigate to treasury
await element(by.text('Treasury')).tap();

// Verify data display
await expect(element(by.id('btc-holdings'))).toBeVisible();
await expect(element(by.id('nav-per-share'))).toBeVisible();
});
});

๐Ÿงช Test Environment Strategyโ€‹

Regtest Environmentโ€‹

# Start full regtest ecosystem
cd regtest-ecosystem
./start-regtest.sh

# Run tests against regtest
npm test -- --env=regtest

Test Data Generationโ€‹

// Regtest utilities
const createTestScenario = async () => {
// Generate Bitcoin test data
const testWallet = await regtestUtils.createWallet();
const testTransaction = await regtestUtils.generateTransaction(testWallet);

// Mine blocks
await regtestUtils.mineBlocks(6);

// Create treasury scenario
await regtestUtils.simulateTreasuryPurchase(1.5); // 1.5 BTC

return { testWallet, testTransaction };
};

๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile Testing Strategyโ€‹

Device Testing Matrixโ€‹

const testDevices = [
{ platform: 'iOS', version: '17.0', device: 'iPhone 15' },
{ platform: 'iOS', version: '16.0', device: 'iPhone 14' },
{ platform: 'Android', version: '14', device: 'Pixel 8' },
{ platform: 'Android', version: '13', device: 'Galaxy S23' }
];

// Cross-platform testing
testDevices.forEach(({ platform, version, device }) => {
describe(`${platform} ${version} on ${device}`, () => {
it('should authenticate with biometrics', async () => {
await testBiometricAuth(platform);
});
});
});

Expo Testingโ€‹

// Maestro E2E tests
export default {
name: 'Treasury Dashboard Test',
config: {
appId: 'com.blgv.wallet'
},
flow: [
{ action: 'launchApp' },
{ action: 'waitForElement', element: { id: 'login-screen' } },
{ action: 'tapOn', element: { id: 'biometric-login' } },
{ action: 'waitForElement', element: { id: 'treasury-dashboard' } },
{ action: 'assertVisible', element: { id: 'btc-holdings' } }
]
};

โšก Real-Time Testingโ€‹

WebSocket Testingโ€‹

describe('Real-Time Data Streams', () => {
let wsClient: WebSocket;

beforeEach(() => {
wsClient = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3004/ws');
});

it('should receive treasury updates', (done) => {
wsClient.onmessage = (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
if (data.type === 'treasury_update') {
expect(data.payload.btcHoldings).toBeGreaterThan(0);
done();
}
};

// Trigger treasury update
updateTreasuryHoldings();
});
});

Performance Testingโ€‹

describe('Performance Benchmarks', () => {
it('should load treasury data within 2 seconds', async () => {
const start = performance.now();
await getTreasuryData();
const end = performance.now();

expect(end - start).toBeLessThan(2000);
});

it('should handle 100 concurrent WebSocket connections', async () => {
const connections = Array.from({ length: 100 }, () =>
new WebSocket('ws://localhost:3004/ws')
);

const connected = await Promise.all(
connections.map(ws => new Promise(resolve => {
ws.onopen = () => resolve(true);
ws.onerror = () => resolve(false);
}))
);

expect(connected.filter(Boolean).length).toBe(100);
});
});

๐Ÿ” Security Testingโ€‹

Authentication Testingโ€‹

describe('Authentication Security', () => {
it('should require valid JWT tokens', async () => {
const response = await fetch('/api/treasury', {
headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer invalid-token' }
});

expect(response.status).toBe(401);
});

it('should validate role permissions', async () => {
const userToken = await generateUserToken();
const response = await fetch('/api/treasury/admin', {
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${userToken}` }
});

expect(response.status).toBe(403);
});
});

Input Validation Testingโ€‹

describe('Input Validation', () => {
it('should validate Bitcoin addresses', () => {
const validAddress = 'bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh';
const invalidAddress = 'invalid-address';

expect(validateBitcoinAddress(validAddress)).toBe(true);
expect(validateBitcoinAddress(invalidAddress)).toBe(false);
});

it('should sanitize SQL inputs', async () => {
const maliciousInput = "'; DROP TABLE users; --";
const result = await searchUsers(maliciousInput);

// Should not crash and return empty results
expect(result).toEqual([]);
});
});

๐Ÿ“Š Test Coverage & Reportingโ€‹

Coverage Requirementsโ€‹

{
"jest": {
"coverageThreshold": {
"global": {
"branches": 80,
"functions": 80,
"lines": 80,
"statements": 80
}
}
}
}

Test Reportingโ€‹

// Custom test reporter
class BLGVTestReporter {
onTestResult(test, testResult) {
if (testResult.numFailingTests > 0) {
// Send alerts for critical failures
if (test.path.includes('treasury') || test.path.includes('security')) {
alertDevelopmentTeam(testResult);
}
}
}
}

๐ŸŽฏ Test Categoriesโ€‹

Critical Path Testsโ€‹

  • User authentication and authorization
  • Bitcoin transaction processing
  • Treasury calculation accuracy
  • Real-time data synchronization
  • Mobile app core functionality

Performance Testsโ€‹

  • API response times
  • Database query optimization
  • WebSocket connection handling
  • Mobile app startup time
  • Memory usage optimization

Security Testsโ€‹

  • Authentication bypass attempts
  • SQL injection prevention
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection
  • API rate limiting effectiveness
  • Biometric authentication security

Compatibility Testsโ€‹

  • Cross-browser compatibility
  • Mobile device compatibility
  • API version compatibility
  • Database migration safety
  • Third-party API integration

๐Ÿ“ Best Practicesโ€‹

  1. Test Isolation: Each test should be independent
  2. Real Data: Use regtest environment, not mocks
  3. Security Focus: Test all authentication paths
  4. Performance Monitoring: Track test execution times
  5. Clear Naming: Tests should be self-documenting
  6. Regular Updates: Keep tests current with features
  7. Failure Analysis: Investigate all test failures
  8. Documentation: Document complex test scenarios

Remember: Every test should validate that we're building the world's premier Bitcoin-native financial ecosystem correctly.
