Blockchain-Oriented Software Testing: A Preliminary Literature Review

Blockchain-oriented software (BOS) is emerging rapidly, however, tailored software engineering techniques to assist software testing is one of the important and necessary phases of software development that plays a vital role in software quality assurance. Blockchain-oriented software testing (BOST) is another area that is still emerging. This paper conducts a preliminary literature review to assess the type of research published, where this research can be found, and the main themes of existing research in BOST. This study also introduces a framework for conducting an empirical study on BOS available on GitHub and proposes future work to expand the knowledge in this domain.
