Hive

ethereum/hive is a containerized testing framework that helps orchestrate test execution against Ethereum clients. Hive is incredibly extensible; new test suites can be implemented in a module manner as "simulators" that interact with clients to test certain aspects of their behavior. The execution-specs testing package implements several simulators, see Running Tests for an overview.

For the EELS simulators, start with Run a Simulator from Images or Choose a tag. Existing source-build commands using fixtures and branch need the Dockerfile.git configuration.
