|
| 9 | +## Overview |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Regression tests ensure **backwards compatibility** of the ZK-ATDLOG validator by verifying that previously generated token requests remain valid across code changes. These tests use pre-recorded test vectors containing serialized token requests that must continue to validate correctly. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +**Location:** `token/core/zkatdlog/nogh/v1/validator/regression/` |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Purpose |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +- **Backwards Compatibility**: Ensure new code changes don't break validation of existing token requests |
| 18 | +- **Protocol Stability**: Verify that the cryptographic protocol remains consistent across versions |
| 19 | +- **Change Detection**: Identify when modifications require regenerating test data |
| 20 | + |

| 41 | +└── 64-BN254/ # 64-bit range proofs, BN254 curve |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Test Vector Format |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Each `output.N.json` file contains: |
| 47 | +```json |
| 48 | +{ |
| 49 | + "req_raw": "<base64-encoded token request>", |
| 50 | + "txid": "<transaction ID>" |
| 51 | +} |
| 52 | +``` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Running Regression Tests |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### Run All Tests |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +```bash |
| 59 | +cd token/core/zkatdlog/nogh/v1/validator/regression |
| 60 | +go test -v |
| 61 | +``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### Run Specific Configuration |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```bash |
| 66 | +# Run only 32-bit BLS12_381 tests |
| 67 | +go test -v -run "TestRegression/testdata/32-BLS12_381_BBS_GURVY" |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +# Run only transfer tests |
| 70 | +go test -v -run "TestRegression.*transfers" |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +# Run specific input/output combination |
| 73 | +go test -v -run "TestRegression.*transfers_i2_o2" |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### Parallel Execution |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +The tests run in parallel by default. To control parallelism: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +```bash |
| 81 | +# Run with specific number of parallel tests |
| 82 | +go test -v -parallel 4 |
| 83 | +``` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +## Test Coverage |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +The regression suite tests: |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +- **4 Action Types**: transfers, issues, redeems, swaps |
| 90 | +- **4 Input/Output Combinations**: i1_o1, i1_o2, i2_o1, i2_o2 |
| 91 | +- **4 Configurations**: 2 bit sizes (32, 64) × 2 curves (BLS12_381, BN254) |
| 92 | +- **64 Vectors per Configuration**: Total of 4,096 test vectors |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## Generating New Test Data |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +When code changes require regenerating test vectors: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### 1. Use the Generator |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +```bash |
| 101 | +cd token/core/zkatdlog/nogh/v1/validator/regression/testdata/generator |
| 102 | +go run main.go |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### 2. Document the Change |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +Update `changes.md` with: |
| 108 | +- Commit hash where change occurred |
| 109 | +- Description of what changed |
| 110 | +- Reason for regeneration |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Example: |
| 113 | +```markdown |
| 114 | +## With respect to commit `<commit-hash>` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Description of the change that required test data regeneration. |
| 117 | +``` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +### 3. Commit New Test Data |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +```bash |
| 122 | +git add testdata/ |
| 123 | +git add changes.md |
| 124 | +git commit -m "Regenerate regression test data: <reason>" |
| 125 | +``` |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +## When to Regenerate Test Data |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +Regenerate test vectors when: |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +- **Serialization format changes**: Any modification to how token requests are serialized |
| 132 | +- **Cryptographic changes**: Updates to proof generation or verification algorithms |
| 133 | +- **Protocol updates**: Changes to the token protocol itself |
| 134 | +- **Bug fixes**: Corrections that affect the output format |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +## Related Tests |
