Tests

Test Structure

Generally all tests are meant to be unit tests, with the exception of those in the integration/ folder.

A few notes:

• common/ contains self-contained tests only testing bigchaindb/common/
• 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
