I’ve started working with several libp2p transports and was wondering if there’s a way to run tests on IPFS in the absence of a test network.

Hi,

there is [https://github.com/ipfs/testground/](https://github.com/ipfs/testground/) and [https://github.com/ipfs/iptb](https://github.com/ipfs/iptb), which can be used to launch networks of peers and run tests on them.
