Chain-Validation-Walkthrough.md

Status

• Minimal Coverage of Lotus actor code.
• Breadth first approach taken to writing tests since implementation is expected to change as spec converges.
• Chain-Validation library is capable of serializing and deserializing lotus state and actors.

Goal

• Deduplicate testing efforts by creating a single testing library capable of running one set of tests across multiple filecoin implementations -- A canolical library for filecoin validation.

Walkthrough & Demo

• Walkthrough code and explanation of current design decisions.

What’s next?

• Testing application of sets of messages
  • Will provide coverage for different types of message, SECP256k v BLS
• Gas Tracking
• VM Interpreter Testing
• Writing tests based on the actor definition in the spec
  • Most tests have been writing around the lotus implementation.
