Description
Test and validate the reliability of the Messaging API for nwaku and js-waku in accordance to Waku FURPS. Ensure the API performs consistently and meets the expected functional and reliability requirements, aligning with behaviors used by applications like the Status app and Waku Tester tool. Note! Dates are not set because Waku needs to notify us when the task is ready for QA.
Alignment with VAC Narratives:
- By testing the Messaging API, VAC QA ensures robust and predictable API behavior across diverse environments and tools.
- This initiative supports VAC’s commitment to building reliable and scalable testing frameworks that foster collaboration and confidence in the Waku ecosystem.
- Reliability-focused testing directly aligns with the strategic objective of ensuring resilience in communication protocols.
