Test utilities and data management for PoseiTrader.
The testkit crate provides comprehensive testing utilities including test data management, file handling, and common testing patterns. This crate supports robust testing workflows across the entire PoseiTrader ecosystem with automated data downloads and validation:
- Test data management: Automated downloading and caching of test datasets.
- File utilities: File integrity verification with SHA-256 checksums.
- Path resolution: Platform-agnostic test data path management.
- Precision handling: Support for both 64-bit and 128-bit precision test data.
- Common patterns: Reusable test utilities and helper functions.
§Platform
PoseiTrader is an open-source, high-performance, production-grade algorithmic trading platform, providing quantitative traders with the ability to backtest portfolios of automated trading strategies on historical data with an event-driven engine, and also deploy those same strategies live, with no code changes.
PoseiTrader’s design, architecture, and implementation philosophy prioritizes software correctness and safety at the highest level, with the aim of supporting mission-critical, trading system backtesting and live deployment workloads.
§Feature flags
