Superball Protocol Test Suite - Summary

Overview

Comprehensive test suite for validating SUP-01 through SUP-06 compliance in the C implementation of the Superball Thrower daemon.

Test Coverage

Test	SUP	Feature	Duration	Throwers Required
test_single_hop.sh	SUP-01	Basic routing	~10s	1 (A)
test_multi_hop.sh	SUP-02	Multi-hop (3 hops)	~15s	3 (A, B, C)
test_padding.sh	SUP-03	Padding payloads	~12s	2 (A, B)
test_delays.sh	SUP-04	Delay verification	~20s	1 (A)
test_relay_auth.sh	SUP-05	AUTH handling	~5s	Optional
test_thrower_info.sh	SUP-06	Thrower info	~10s	1 (A)
test_end_to_end.sh	All	Complete workflow	~15s	3 (A, B, C)

Total Runtime: ~1-2 minutes (with all throwers running)

Quick Commands

# Run all tests
./test_framework.sh all

# Run specific test
./test_framework.sh test_single_hop

# View help
./test_framework.sh help

Test Parameters

All tests use 2-second delays for fast execution:

• Single-hop: 2s delay
• Multi-hop: 2s per hop (6s total for 3 hops)
• Padding: 2s per hop
• End-to-end: 2s per hop (6s total)

Success Criteria

Each test verifies:

1. ✓ Event routing completes successfully
2. ✓ Timing constraints respected (delay >= specified)
3. ✓ Content integrity maintained
4. ✓ Event structure valid
5. ✓ Protocol compliance (SUP-specific)

Test Keys (fixtures/test_keys.json)

Test Relays (fixtures/test_relays.json)

Default test relays:

• Primary: wss://relay.laantungir.net
• Secondary: wss://relay.damus.io
• Tertiary: wss://nos.lol
• Final: wss://relay.nostr.band

Dependencies

1. nak (Nostr Army Knife) - Event creation and relay interaction
2. jq - JSON processing
3. bash - Shell scripting
4. superball_thrower - The daemon being tested

Output Examples

Successful Test

=== SUP-01: Single-Hop Routing Test ===
Builder: 79be667ef9dcbbac55a06295ce870b07029bfcdb2dce28d959f2815b16f81798
Thrower A: c6047f9441ed7d6d3045406e95c07cd85c778e4b8cef3ca7abac09b95c709ee5
...
=== TEST PASSED ===
✓ Single-hop routing successful
✓ Delay constraint respected (3s >= 2s)
✓ Event content preserved
✓ Event published to correct relay

Failed Test

=== SUP-01: Single-Hop Routing Test ===
...
ERROR: Inner event not found on final relay within 30s
This could indicate:
  - Thrower is not running
  - Network connectivity issues

Integration with CI/CD

The test suite is designed for easy CI/CD integration:

# .github/workflows/test.yml
- name: Run Superball Tests
  run: |
    cd tests
    ./test_framework.sh all

Troubleshooting Guide

Issue	Solution
"nak not found"	go install github.com/fiatjaf/nak@latest
"Event not found"	Check thrower is running, verify relay connectivity
"Event too early"	Check delay implementation in daemon
"Timeout"	Increase timeout values, check network

Future Enhancements

Potential additions:

• 4-hop and 5-hop routing tests
• Stress testing (high volume)
• Performance benchmarking
• Failure injection tests
• Network partition simulation
• Concurrent routing tests
• Memory leak detection
• Relay failover testing

Metrics

Test suite provides:

• Coverage: All 6 SUPs tested
• Execution Time: < 2 minutes
• Automation: Fully automated
• Reporting: Detailed logs and summaries
• Reliability: Deterministic results

Documentation

• README.md: Complete documentation
• QUICKSTART.md: Quick start guide
• TEST_SUITE_SUMMARY.md: This summary

Maintenance

Test suite is self-contained and requires minimal maintenance:

• Update relay URLs if relays change
• Adjust timeouts if network conditions change
• Add new tests for new SUPs
• Update test keys if needed (testing only)
