The tests in this folder are meant to measure the performance of various app operations.
These tests are implemented in Python and can be executed either using the Speculos emulator or a Ledger Nano S+, Nano X, or Stax.
Python dependencies are listed in requirements.txt, install them using pip from the root of the repository:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The app must be built with the AUTOAPPROVE_FOR_PERF_TESTS=1 parameter when calling make. This flag compiles the testnet app in a mode that requires no user interaction at all.
Performance measured in speculos is not a good proxy of the performance on a real device.
Simply run:
pytest
Compile and install the app on your device as normal.
To run the tests on your Ledger device, you also need to install an optional dependency
pip install ledgercomm[hid]
Be sure to have you device connected through USB and open on the bitcoin testnet app, sideloaded from the build above.
pytest --hid
