Clarify difference between this repo and ipfs/iptb, libp2p/testlab #29

Open lidel opened 5 years ago

lidel commented 5 years ago

@autonome noticed this repo exists. Right now it looks abandoned (last change 2 years ago), while similarly named https://github.com/libp2p/testlab is alive and kicking.

I believe https://github.com/ipfs/iptb is what people want when googling "ipfs test lab" so README should at least explain the difference between two, but I am lacking historical context.

Anyone can help filling the blanks? @daviddias? I can PR but am not sure if notes from this issue from 2017 are up to date.

This is a repo created 2 years ago for the sprint on test lab (a 2 weeks sprint). Lot's of docs were generated.

iptb is a tool @whyrusleeping made in 2015 to test IPFS
testlab is the new endeavour by the libp2p team to create the actual test lab
testground is the development of the original vision by with a large upgrade to its design as described at Test Infrastructure V1
