Zeltests
Zeltests is a modular benchmark and testing framework intended to evaluate distributed systems and applications within the Zel ecosystem. It provides a formal set of test definitions, execution engines, and telemetry to measure performance, reliability, and scalability under controlled conditions.
The framework emphasizes reproducibility and cross-environment comparison by using containerized test beds and a standardized test
Test categories: functional tests to verify correct behavior, performance tests for latency and throughput, stress tests,
Architecture: Test harness orchestrates test runs; telemetry module collects metrics such as latency, error rate, resource
History and adoption: Introduced in 2022 by the Zel Standards Initiative (ZSI). Gained limited adoption in academic
Criticism and alternatives: Critics cite lack of independent validation and incomplete coverage of real-world network variability;
