摘要

受比特币成功的启发，许多比特币协议以及替代区块链协议的客户端已经实现。然而，实现可能包含错误，并且在加密货币的情况下，错误的成本可能非常高。我们建议通过一套抽象属性测试来解决这个问题，这些测试可以检查区块链系统是否满足大多数区块链和类区块链系统应该满足的法律。为了测试一个新的区块链系统，其开发人员需要实例化测试使用的随机对象生成器。然后，测试套件在许多随机情况下检查规则的满足程度。我们在论文中提供了一些例证。

Checking laws of the blockchain with property-based testing

Inspired by the success of Bitcoin, many clients for the Bitcoin protocol as well as for alternative blockchain protocols have been implemented. However, implementations may contain errors, and the cost of an error in the case of a cryptocurrency can be extremely high. We propose to tackle this problem with a suite of abstract property tests that check whether a blockchain system satisfies laws that most blockchain and blockchain-like systems should satisfy. To test a new blockchain system, its developers need to instantiate generators of random objects to be used by the tests. The test suite then checks the satisfaction of the laws over many random cases. We provide examples of laws in the paper.
