Alternative to testnet

[waseemshahwan]

What is the alternative to testnet when testing bitcoin-related code?

I can't test on testnet due to the recent spam.

I don't have quick access to bitcoin without waiting at least 24 hours and currently do not have any on me.

have you tried using RegTest? https://bitcoin.org/en/glossary/regression-test-mode
it is basically same as TestNet but private. so you are in control of it and you can do anything you could on TestNet. there are projects that can be helpful such as TestNet-in-a-box https://github.com/freewil/bitcoin-testnet-box check it out and search more, you will find many useful links.
