A testnet configuration is specified as a TOML testnet manifest (see below). The testnet runner uses the manifest to configure a set of Docker containers and start them in some order. The manifests can be written manually (to test specific configurations) or generated randomly by the testnet generator (to test a wide range of configuration permutations).
When running a testnet, the runner will first start the Docker nodes in some sequence, submit random transactions, and wait for the nodes to come online and the first blocks to be produced. This may involve e.g. waiting for nodes to fast sync and/or state sync. If specified, it will then run any misbehaviors (e.g. double-signing) and perturbations (e.g. killing or disconnecting nodes). It then waits for the testnet to stabilize, with all nodes online and having reached the latest height.
When running a testnet, the runner will first start the Docker nodes in some sequence, submit random transactions, and wait for the nodes to come online and the first blocks to be produced. This may involve e.g. waiting for nodes to block sync and/or state sync. If specified, it will then run any misbehaviors (e.g. double-signing) and perturbations (e.g. killing or disconnecting nodes). It then waits for the testnet to stabilize, with all nodes online and having reached the latest height.
Once the testnet stabilizes, a set of Go end-to-end tests are run against the live testnet to verify network invariants (for example that blocks are identical across nodes). These use the RPC client to interact with the network, and should consider the entire network as a black box (i.e. it should not test any network or node internals, only externally visible behavior via RPC). The tests may use the `testNode()` helper to run parallel tests against each individual testnet node, and/or inspect the full blockchain history via `fetchBlockChain()`.
