Testground provides an excellent foundation for distributed testing. Supporting the libp2p team with interoperability tests generates long-term value outside of Testground. We can move faster, generate interest, and create measurable improvements by focusing on a use-case.

Deliverables

• Tooling to support interoperability testing (mixed-builders, composition templating),
  • interop: add builder and path options in compositions' groups #1367
  • feat: Add additional parameters to groups in composition files #1338
• Stability measurements & fixes to reach the libp2p team's expectations,
  • feat: various usability & stabiliy improvements for interop #1421
• A fully working example (ping test) used in go-libp2p and rust-libp2p CIs,
  • testground: cross-version interoperability libp2p/test-plans#23
  • ping/rust: introduce rust cross-version test libp2p/test-plans#26
• An interoperability Dashboard that shows how implementations and versions are tested.
  • Create a "simple" interop dashboard libp2p/test-plans#55
