BLOCKCHAIN AND
SECURITY TESTING
BIRTHVENUE
Getting your organisation on blockchain
The perfect match is made.
WHAT IS BIRTHVENUE?
Very few organisations know the real fundamentals of Blockchain, and even
fewer have the requisite resources and talent to execute. However, what is
true is that everybody wants to embrace it.
Birthvenue is a blockchain-as-a-service provider.
BirthVenue assists management teams in understanding the fundamentals
of blockchain technology by creating industry-specific case studies as
references to use cases. Our team of engineers develops elegant blockchain
solutions and platforms to empower successful businesses into new
technology spaces. Our lawyers on board will help clarify all regulatory
requirements to make sure operations are within the purview of the law.
CHALLENGES AND POTENTIAL SCOPE
SMART CONTRACT AUDITS
Not all smart contracts are as “smart” as we
think they are. Recent hacks of smart
contracts are evidence of bugs,
vulnerabilities and security flaws in smart
contracts which might have remained
unnoticed at the production level.
PLATFORM DEPENDENCE
Blockchain testing is dependent on the
underlying development platforms like
Ethereum, Openchain or any customized
platform. Frameworks for testing Openchain
and Ethereum are available; however, a
detailed analysis and a test strategy are
required to test the functionality that is
custom-built.INTEGRATION FRAMEWORKS
Integrating a decentralised application with
various systems and environment is often
difficult. The key responsibility is to ensure that
the response from all interfaces is consistent and
there are no disconnects. The challenge arises
when there is a lack of proper information on all
interfaces along with their response status.
CORE SECURITY
If a node on the network is attacked by
something like DDoS, then the application
hosted on the blockchain will be affected.

FUNCTIONAL
TESTING
Functional testing of the basic
components, the system, and
its workings are essential.
Testing here is conducted to
assess the effectiveness of use-
case scenarios and the specific
business processes involved.
INTEGRATION
TESTING
Blockchain deployment could be
across several systems and
environments; it becomes essential
to ensure that the interfaces
between the components,
integrations, and the different parts
of the system are functioning
cohesively.
PERFORMANCE
TESTING
Performance testing in
Blockchain includes identifying
performance bottlenecks,
defining the metrics for tuning
the system, and assessing if the
application is ready for
production.
STANDARDISED TESTING
SPECIALISED TESTING
SMART CONTRACT
TESTING
Testing calls for simulating all
possible expected and
unexpected conditions of a
contract. it looks at business
logic combinations and
appropriate execution of all
the transactions in the context
of a dynamically changing and
expanding the network.
PENETRATION
TESTING
Testing of the consensus protocol
to determine that all the
transactions get stored in the
proper sequence. This would have
to be tested under normal
conditions and under conditions
when nodes fail simultaneously or
when they do not participate in the
network for some time.
SECURITY
TESTING
Testing of cryptographical
data are essential to
Blockchain applications. Test
automation is required due to
the sheer number of nodes
and the various combinations
of transactions that need to
be validated.
