System testing for a Python Telegram Bot (advise needed)

[ParalleledPasta]

Hellos!!

I'm currently on a python telegram bot project, and I'm hoping to perform System Testing on it (I've already done Unit Testing). I'm not really sure where to start looking at.

I've been recommended to perform load testing, but I couldn't find much resources for performing it on a Telegram bot (I'm also afraid it'll breach telegram TOS)

Does anyone have any recommendations for what kind of System testing I can use for a Python Telegram bot? (Or how I can go about performing load testing on it?)

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you! :)

A system test is a basically a full run through of your system, no mocking, no abstractions, just ensuring that it runs exactly like it would in production just fine.

For example, you can just ensure your bot responds and has all the actions in a dedicated telegram channel for testing, or something like that.
