Most of the tests in the tests/ folder are unit tests. For info about how to write and run tests, see the docs about contributing to BigchainDB, especially:
- Write Code - Remember to Write Tests
- Notes on Running a Local Dev Node with Docker Compose, especially
make test - Notes on Running a Local Dev Node as Processes (and Running All Tests)
Note: There are acceptance tests in the acceptance/ folder (at the same level in the hierarchy as the tests/ folder).
