Moog is for Cardano testing with Antithesis.
The Cardano blockchain's core node software implements complex algorithms and protocols who run in a networked, concurrent context. Many nodes, some of which could be adversarial, collaborate to achieve the overall system's behaviour of being a decentralized, immutable ledger. Such a system is subject to many unpredictable factors such as communication delays, network partitions, nodes appearing or disappearing.
Antithesis is a testing tool which is capable of generating random events (such as communication delays, network partitions, nodes appearing or disappearing) in a simulated environment, such that if any specific random sequence of combination of events leads to a software error, it can be reproduced.
Moog aims to facilitate the use of Antithesis for testing various components of the Cardano ecosystem, while tracking these test efforts on the blockchain.
Moog is intended for Cardano developers and builders. Familiarity with the Cardano network, its tools and ecosystem is required.
Moog runs on MacOS and Linux.
Before using Moog there are several preliminary steps, including creating a wallet and registering yourself as a user. These are described in the user manual.
Instructions for end-users are available on the Moog website.
Instructions for contributors and developers are in Contributing
Moog is used via a command-line-interface (CLI). If you have followed the "Getting started" instructions you can check you have a working system by invoking:
moog --help
This should print out Moog's inline help.
Further instructions for setting up and using Moog are in the user manuals available on the Moog webiste.
