Project Plan - Hyperledger Caliper testability and robustness improvement.

Abstract

Hyperledger Caliper is a blockchain benchmark platform that allows you to analyze different blockchain implementations in a variety of dimensions, such as performance, scalability, and latency. This project aims to increase Caliper's testability, test coverage, and robustness. To achieve this, the current testing framework of Caliper will be assessed for pain points and the need for improvement, and then comprehensive test suites will be designed and implemented.
