Blockchain and the Possible Impact on Testing: New Technology Needs New Testing?
summary
Defines blockchain fundamentals (immutable distributed ledgers, ~10-minute Bitcoin block times) and contrasts proof-of-work versus proof-of-stake, public vs private chains, and irreversible smart contracts. Outlines concrete testing concerns—energy use and latency, miner behavior, no rollback—and recommends test strategies (unit/component/integration tests plus testnets), while noting gaps in tooling, models, and regulatory/KYC/privacy requirements that disrupt traditional testing practices.
