Whiteblock Inc. today introduced its blockchain testing-as-a-service (BTaaS) system, a scalable test platform for blockchain and enterprise DLT developers. Whiteblock’s BTaaS measures and validates key performance benchmarks, such as transactions per second and consensus over a variety of networks. Developers can automate transactions, test fault tolerance, dynamically add or remove nodes, and quickly provision a private testnet that simulates a live global blockchain network.

Whiteblock enters the blockchain market with solid management experience in building reliable products for enterprise. Whiteblock BTaaS is based on the Apposite Technologies’ platform, with thousands of users and over 12 years of performance in network testing and evaluation. Whiteblock’s CEO has nearly two decades of experience in network testing and management roles with Ixia, Spirent, and Apposite.

Whiteblock’s BTaaS is an immediate and easy-to-implement service that validates the performance of a blockchain system through testing multiple systems and conditions, including bandwidth up to 100 Gbps and up to 1000 nodes. Whiteblock’s BTaaS delivers an accurate and detailed independent report for all testing results.

The Whiteblock testing platform is blockchain agnostic. Users can provision nodes with their own proprietary clients or deploy pre-configured profiles for existing systems, such as Ethereum or Hyperledger, to quickly deploy a scalable test net. Network conditions, such as latency, packet loss, and bandwidth, can also be configured between these nodes to behave in the same way one can expect in the real world.
