+## Specs

 Core specifications for eth2.0 client validation can be found in [specs/core](specs/core). These are divided into phases. Each subsequent phase depends upon the prior. The current phases specified are:
 * [Phase 0 -- The Beacon Chain](specs/core/0_beacon-chain.md)

 * [Light client syncing protocol](specs/light_client/sync_protocol.md)

-## Design goals
+
+### Design goals
+
 The following are the broad design goals for Ethereum 2.0:
 * to minimize complexity, even at the cost of some losses in efficiency
 * to remain live through major network partitions and when very large portions of nodes go offline
 * to select all components such that they are either quantum secure or can be easily swapped out for quantum secure counterparts when available
 * to utilize crypto and design techniques that allow for a large participation of validators in total and per unit time
 * to allow for a typical consumer laptop with `O(C)` resources to process/validate `O(1)` shards (including any system level validation such as the beacon chain)
+
+
+## For spec contributors
+
+Documentation on the different components used during spec writing can be found here:
+* [YAML Test Generators](test_generators/README.md)
+* [Executable Python Spec](test_libs/pyspec/README.md)
+* [Py-tests](py_tests/README.md)

+ but we are still looking for inputs on how this should work.
+
+## How to run tests
+
+### Automated
+
+Run `make test` from the root of the spec repository.
+
+### Manual
+
+From within the py_tests folder:
+
+Install dependencies:
+```bash
+python3 -m venv venv
+. venv/bin/activate
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+```
+Note: make sure to run `make pyspec` from the root of the specs repository, to build the pyspec requirement.
+
+Run the tests:
+```
+pytest -m minimal_config .
+```

@ -66,16 +75,11 @@ There are two types of fork-data:
 The first is neat to have as a separate form: we prevent duplication, and can run with different presets
 (e.g. fork timeline for a minimal local test, for a public testnet, or for mainnet)

-The second is still somewhat ambiguous: some tests may want cover multiple forks, and can do so in different ways:
- run one test, transitioning from one to the other
- run the same test for both
- run a test for every transition from one fork to the other
- more
-
-There is a common factor here however: the options are exclusive, and give a clear idea on what test suites need to be ran to cover testing for a specific fork.
-The way this list of forks is interpreted, is up to the test-runner:
-State-transition test suites may want to just declare forks that are being covered in the test suite,
- whereas shuffling test suites may want to declare a list of forks to test the shuffling algorithm for individually. 
+The second does not affect the result of the tests, it just states what is covered by the tests,
+ so that the right suites can be executed to see coverage for a certain fork.
+For some types of tests, it may be beneficial to ensure it runs exactly the same, with any given fork "active".
+Test-formats can be explicit on the need to repeat a test with different forks being "active",
+ but generally tests run only once.

+# BLS tests
+
+A test type for BLS. Primarily geared towards verifying the *integration* of any BLS library.
+We do not recommend to roll your own crypto, or use an untested BLS library.
+
+The BLS test suite runner has the following handlers:
+
+- [`aggregate_pubkeys`](./aggregate_pubkeys.md)
+- [`aggregate_sigs`](./aggregate_sigs.md)
+- [`msg_hash_g2_compressed`](./msg_hash_g2_compressed.md)
+- [`msg_hash_g2_uncompressed`](./msg_hash_g2_uncompressed.md)
+- [`priv_to_pub`](./priv_to_pub.md)
+- [`sign_msg`](./sign_msg.md)
+
+Note: signature-verification and aggregate-verify test cases are not yet supported.

+# Test format: shuffling
+
+The runner of the Shuffling test type has only one handler: `core`
+
+This does not mean however that testing is limited.
+Clients may take different approaches to shuffling, for optimizing,
+ and supporting advanced lookup behavior back in older history.
+
+For implementers, possible test runners implementing testing can include:
+1) just test permute-index, run it for each index `i` in `range(count)`, and check against expected `output[i]` (default spec implementation)
+2) test un-permute-index (the reverse lookup. Implemented by running the shuffling rounds in reverse: from `round_count-1` to `0`)
+3) test the optimized complete shuffle, where all indices are shuffled at once, test output in one go.
+4) test complete shuffle in reverse (reverse rounds, same as 2)

+
+- The `bytes32` is encoded a string, hexadecimal encoding, prefixed with `0x`.
+- Integers are validator indices. These are `uint64`, but realistically they are not as big.
+
+The `count` specifies the validator registry size. One should compute the shuffling for indices `0, 1, 2, 3, ..., count (exclusive)`.
+Seed is the raw shuffling seed, passed to permute-index (or optimized shuffling approach).

 `get_committee_assignment` should be called at the start of each epoch to get the assignment for the next epoch (`current_epoch + 1`). A validator should plan for future assignments which involves noting at which future slot one will have to attest and also which shard one should begin syncing (in phase 1+).

+# Eth2.0 Test Generators
+
+This directory contains all the generators for YAML tests, consumed by Eth 2.0 client implementations.
+
+Any issues with the generators and/or generated tests should be filed
+ in the repository that hosts the generator outputs, here: [ethereum/eth2.0-tests](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-tests/).
+
+Whenever a release is made, the new tests are automatically built and
+[eth2TestGenBot](https://github.com/eth2TestGenBot) commits the changes to the test repository.
+
+## How to run generators
+
+pre-requisites:
+- Python 3 installed
+- PIP 3
+- GNU make
+
+### Cleaning
+
+This removes the existing virtual environments (`/test_generators/<generator>/venv`), and generated tests (`/yaml_tests/`).
+
+```bash
+make clean 
+```
+
+### Running all test generators
+
+This runs all the generators.
+
+```bash
+make gen_yaml_tests
+```
+
+### Running a single generator
+
+The make file auto-detects generators in the `test_generators/` directory,
+ and provides a tests-gen target for each generator, see example.
+
+```bash
+make ./yaml_tests/shuffling/
+```
+
+## Developing a generator
+
+Simply open up the generator (not all at once) of choice in your favorite IDE/editor, and run:
+
+```bash
+# From the root of the generator directory:
+# Create a virtual environment (any venv/.venv/.venvs is git-ignored)
+python3 -m venv venv
+# Activate the venv, this is where dependencies are installed for the generator
+. venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+Now that you have a virtual environment, write your generator.
+It's recommended to extend the base-generator.
+
+Create a `requirements.txt` in the root of your generator directory:
+```
+eth-utils==1.4.1
+../../test_libs/gen_helpers
+../../test_libs/config_helpers
+../../test_libs/pyspec
+```
+The config helper and pyspec is optional, but preferred. We encourage generators to derive tests from the spec itself, to prevent code duplication and outdated tests.
+Applying configurations to the spec is simple, and enables you to create test suites with different contexts.
+
+Note: make sure to run `make pyspec` from the root of the specs repository, to build the pyspec requirement.
+
+Install all the necessary requirements (re-run when you add more):
+```bash
+pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+And write your initial test generator, extending the base generator:
+
+Write a `main.py` file, here's an example:
+
+```python
+from gen_base import gen_runner, gen_suite, gen_typing
+
+from eth_utils import (
+    to_dict, to_tuple
+)
+
+from preset_loader import loader
+from eth2spec.phase0 import spec
+
+@to_dict
+def example_test_case(v: int):
+    yield "spec_SHARD_COUNT", spec.SHARD_COUNT
+    yield "example", v
+
+
+@to_tuple
+def generate_example_test_cases():
+    for i in range(10):
+        yield example_test_case(i)
+
+
+def example_minimal_suite(configs_path: str) -> gen_typing.TestSuiteOutput:
+    presets = loader.load_presets(configs_path, 'minimal')
+    spec.apply_constants_preset(presets)
+
+    return ("mini", "core", gen_suite.render_suite(
+        title="example_minimal",
+        summary="Minimal example suite, testing bar.",
+        forks_timeline="testing",
+        forks=["phase0"],
+        config="minimal",
+        handler="main",
+        test_cases=generate_example_test_cases()))
+
+
+def example_mainnet_suite(configs_path: str) -> gen_typing.TestSuiteOutput:
+    presets = loader.load_presets(configs_path, 'mainnet')
+    spec.apply_constants_preset(presets)
+
+    return ("full", "core", gen_suite.render_suite(
+        title="example_main_net",
+        summary="Main net based example suite.",
+        forks_timeline= "mainnet",
+        forks=["phase0"],
+        config="testing",
+        handler="main",
+        test_cases=generate_example_test_cases()))
+
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    gen_runner.run_generator("example", [example_minimal_suite, example_mainnet_suite])
+```
+
+Recommendations:
+- you can have more than just 1 suite creator, e.g. ` gen_runner.run_generator("foo", [bar_test_suite, abc_test_suite, example_test_suite])`
+- you can concatenate lists of test cases, if you don't want to split it up in suites, however make sure they could be run with one handler.
+- you can split your suite creators into different python files/packages, good for code organization.
+- use config "minimal" for performance. But also implement a suite with the default config where necessary. 
+- you may be able to write your test suite creator in a way where it does not make assumptions on constants.
+  If so, you can generate test suites with different configurations for the same scenario (see example). 
+- the test-generator accepts `--output` and `--force` (overwrite output)
+
+## How to add a new test generator
+
+In order to add a new test generator that builds `New Tests`:
+
+1. Create a new directory `new_tests`, within the `test_generators` directory.
+ Note that `new_tests` is also the name of the directory in which the tests will appear in the tests repository later.
+2. Your generator is assumed to have a `requirements.txt` file,
+ with any dependencies it may need. Leave it empty if your generator has none.
+3. Your generator is assumed to have a `main.py` file in its root.
+ By adding the base generator to your requirements, you can make a generator really easily. See docs below.
+4. Your generator is called with `-o some/file/path/for_testing/can/be_anything -c some/other/path/to_configs/`.
+ The base generator helps you handle this; you only have to define suite headers,
+ and a list of tests for each suite you generate.
+5. Finally, add any linting or testing commands to the
+ [circleci config file](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-test-generators/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml)
+ if desired to increase code quality.
+
+Note: you do not have to change the makefile.
+However, if necessary (e.g. not using python, or mixing in other languages), submit an issue, and it can be a special case.
+Do note that generators should be easy to maintain, lean, and based on the spec.
+
+
+## How to remove a test generator
+
+If a test generator is not needed anymore, undo the steps described above and make a new release:
+
+1. remove the generator directory
+2. remove the generated tests in the `eth2.0-tests` repository by opening a PR there.
+3. make a new release

+# Operations
+
+Operations (or "transactions" in previous spec iterations),
+ are atomic changes to the state, introduced by embedding in blocks.
+
+This generator provides a series of test suites, divided into handler, for each operation type.
+An operation test-runner can consume these operation test-suites,
+ and handle different kinds of operations by processing the cases using the specified test handler.
+
+Information on the format of the tests can be found in the [operations test formats documentation](../../specs/test_formats/operations/README.md).

+# ETH 2.0 PySpec
+
+The Python executable spec is built from the ETH 2.0 specification, 
+ complemented with the necessary helper functions for hashing, BLS, and more.
+
+With this executable spec,
+ test-generators can easily create test-vectors for client implementations,
+ and the spec itself can be verified to be consistent and coherent, through sanity tests implemented with pytest.
+
+## Building
+
+All the dynamic parts of the spec can be build at once with `make pyspec`.
+
+Alternatively, you can build a sub-set of the pyspec: `make phase0`.
+
+Or, to build a single file, specify the path, e.g. `make test_libs/pyspec/eth2spec/phase0/spec.py`
+
+## Contributing
+
+Contributions are welcome, but consider implementing your idea as part of the spec itself first.
+The pyspec is not a replacement.
+If you see opportunity to include any of the `pyspec/eth2spec/utils/` code in the spec,
+ please submit an issue or PR.
+
+## License
+
+Same as the spec itself, see LICENSE file in spec repository root.
