Looks like they were planning to Jepsen test later this year [0]. But it looks like they're preparing to run it themselves [1]?

I'm an ArangoDB team member. We are starting with our own Jepsen tests. But we will ask Aphyr as soon as possible to do an official test. In the meantime can the community check our implementation.

It most certainly makes sense to jepsen Arango before asking the public to do so. But I won't take your tests without a grain of salt till Aphyr does so. ;) Best of luck

As far as I know is Aphyer booked for months. We will do our best.

Jepsen tests are basically a closure framework to conduct such tests. We took some of the existing test cases and rewrote them for ArangoDB. So these are not "official Jepsen tests" but tests we did ourselves to track down issues. If you want to inspect and retest yourself, that will be possible. There's no reason to keep the tests closed source. Of course it would be great to get ArangoDB Aphyr-approved eventually.
