BigchainDB Server Tests

The bigchaindb/tests/ Folder

The bigchaindb/tests/ folder is where all the tests for BigchainDB Server live. Most of them are unit tests. Integration tests are in the bigchaindb/tests/integration/ folder.

A few notes:

• bigchaindb/tests/common/ contains self-contained tests only testing bigchaindb/common/
• bigchaindb/tests/db/ contains tests requiring the database backend (e.g. RethinkDB)

Pytest Customizations

Customizations we've added to pytest:

• --database-backend: Defines the backend to use for the tests. Must be one of the backends available in the server configuration
