# Genesis validity testing Tests if a genesis state is valid, i.e. if it counts as trigger to launch. ## Test case format ```yaml description: string -- description of test case, purely for debugging purposes bls_setting: int -- see general test-format spec. genesis: BeaconState -- state to validate. is_valid: bool -- true if the genesis state is deemed valid as to launch with, false otherwise. ``` To process the data, call `is_valid_genesis_state(genesis)`. ## Condition The result of calling `is_valid_genesis_state(genesis)` should match the expected `is_valid` boolean.
