Description
Extend nim-libp2p testing coverage, documentation, and tooling.
Create test plans, implement tests, and increase coverage for all the modules implemented in nim libp2p. Improve tooling around nim libp2p testing.
Alignment with VAC Narratives:
- Nim-libp2p is a key component of the VAC ecosystem, and improving its testing coverage and tooling strengthens our internal expertise and the overall reliability of the network.
- By enhancing these tests, and creating test plans, we support the RFC culture by providing feedback to the specifications, ensuring they align with real-world implementation.
- These efforts also contribute to scaling the project’s capacity, as better testing tools empower the open-source community to participate effectively.
