Skill Details

SKILL.md

Test smart contracts comprehensively using Hardhat and Foundry with unit tests, integration tests, and mainnet forking. Use when testing Solidity contracts, setting up blockchain test suites, or validating DeFi protocols.

Overview

# Web3 Smart Contract Testing

Master comprehensive testing strategies for smart contracts using Hardhat, Foundry, and advanced testing patterns.

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to web3 smart contract testing
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Use this skill when

  • Writing unit tests for smart contracts
  • Setting up integration test suites
  • Performing gas optimization testing
  • Fuzzing for edge cases
  • Forking mainnet for realistic testing
  • Automating test coverage reporting
  • Verifying contracts on Etherscan

Hardhat Testing Setup

```javascript

// hardhat.config.js

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");

require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-etherscan");

require("hardhat-gas-reporter");

require("solidity-coverage");

module.exports = {

solidity: {

version: "0.8.19",

settings: {

optimizer: {

enabled: true,

runs: 200,

},

},

},

networks: {

hardhat: {

forking: {

url: process.env.MAINNET_RPC_URL,

blockNumber: 15000000,

},

},

goerli: {

url: process.env.GOERLI_RPC_URL,

accounts: [process.env.PRIVATE_KEY],

},

},

gasReporter: {

enabled: true,

currency: "USD",

coinmarketcap: process.env.COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY,

},

etherscan: {

apiKey: process.env.ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,

},

};

```

Unit Testing Patterns

```javascript

const { expect } = require("chai");

const { ethers } = require("hardhat");

const {

loadFixture,

time,

} = require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-network-helpers");

describe("Token Contract", function () {

// Fixture for test setup

async function deployTokenFixture() {

const [owner, addr1, addr2] = await ethers.getSigners();

const Token = await ethers.getContractFactory("Token");

const token = await Token.deploy();

return { token, owner, addr1, addr2 };

}

describe("Deployment", function () {

it("Should set the right owner", async function () {

const { token, owner } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

expect(await token.owner()).to.equal(owner.address);

});

it("Should assign total supply to owner", async function () {

const { token, owner } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

const ownerBalance = await token.balanceOf(owner.address);

expect(await token.totalSupply()).to.equal(ownerBalance);

});

});

describe("Transactions", function () {

it("Should transfer tokens between accounts", async function () {

const { token, owner, addr1 } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

await expect(token.transfer(addr1.address, 50)).to.changeTokenBalances(

token,

[owner, addr1],

[-50, 50],

);

});

it("Should fail if sender doesn't have enough tokens", async function () {

const { token, addr1 } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

const initialBalance = await token.balanceOf(addr1.address);

await expect(

token.connect(addr1).transfer(owner.address, 1),

).to.be.revertedWith("Insufficient balance");

});

it("Should emit Transfer event", async function () {

const { token, owner, addr1 } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

await expect(token.transfer(addr1.address, 50))

.to.emit(token, "Transfer")

.withArgs(owner.address, addr1.address, 50);

});

});

describe("Time-based tests", function () {

it("Should handle time-locked operations", async function () {

const { token } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

// Increase time by 1 day

await time.increase(86400);

// Test time-dependent functionality

});

});

describe("Gas optimization", function () {

it("Should use gas efficiently", async function () {

const { token } = await loadFixture(deployTokenFixture);

const tx = await token.transfer(addr1.address, 100);

const receipt = await tx.wait();

expect(receipt.gasUsed).to.be.lessThan(50000);

});

});

});

```

Foundry Testing (Forge)

```solidity

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "forge-std/Test.sol";

import "../src/Token.sol";

contract TokenTest is Test {

Token token;

address owner = address(1);

address user1 = address(2);

address user2 = address(3);

function setUp() public {

vm.prank(owner);

token = new Token();

}

function testInitialSupply() public {

assertEq(token.totalSupply(), 1000000 10*18);

}

function testTransfer() public {

vm.prank(owner);

token.transfer(user1, 100);

assertEq(token.balanceOf(user1), 100);

assertEq(token.balanceOf(owner), token.totalSupply() - 100);

}

function testFailTransferInsufficientBalance() public {

vm.prank(user1);

token.transfer(user2, 100); // Should fail

}

function testCannotTransferToZeroAddress() public {

vm.prank(owner);

vm.expectRevert("Invalid recipient");

token.transfer(address(0), 100);

}

// Fuzzing test

function testFuzzTransfer(uint256 amount) public {

vm.assume(amount > 0 && amount <= token.totalSupply());

vm.prank(owner);

token.transfer(user1, amount);

assertEq(token.balanceOf(user1), amount);

}

// Test with cheatcodes

function testDealAndPrank() public {

// Give ETH to address

vm.deal(user1, 10 ether);

// Impersonate address

vm.prank(user1);

// Test functionality

assertEq(user1.balance, 10 ether);

}

// Mainnet fork test

function testForkMainnet() public {

vm.createSelectFork("https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/...");

// Interact with mainnet contracts

address dai = 0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F;

assertEq(IERC20(dai).symbol(), "DAI");

}

}

```

Advanced Testing Patterns

Snapshot and Revert

```javascript

describe("Complex State Changes", function () {

let snapshotId;

beforeEach(async function () {

snapshotId = await network.provider.send("evm_snapshot");

});

afterEach(async function () {

await network.provider.send("evm_revert", [snapshotId]);

});

it("Test 1", async function () {

// Make state changes

});

it("Test 2", async function () {

// State reverted, clean slate

});

});

```

Mainnet Forking

```javascript

describe("Mainnet Fork Tests", function () {

let uniswapRouter, dai, usdc;

before(async function () {

await network.provider.request({

method: "hardhat_reset",

params: [

{

forking: {

jsonRpcUrl: process.env.MAINNET_RPC_URL,

blockNumber: 15000000,

},

},

],

});

// Connect to existing mainnet contracts

uniswapRouter = await ethers.getContractAt(

"IUniswapV2Router",

"0x7a250d5630B4cF539739dF2C5dAcb4c659F2488D",

);

dai = await ethers.getContractAt(

"IERC20",

"0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EedeAC495271d0F",

);

});

it("Should swap on Uniswap", async function () {

// Test with real Uniswap contracts

});

});

```

Impersonating Accounts

```javascript

it("Should impersonate whale account", async function () {

const whaleAddress = "0x...";

await network.provider.request({

method: "hardhat_impersonateAccount",

params: [whaleAddress],

});

const whale = await ethers.getSigner(whaleAddress);

// Use whale's tokens

await dai

.connect(whale)

.transfer(addr1.address, ethers.utils.parseEther("1000"));

});

```

Gas Optimization Testing

```javascript

const { expect } = require("chai");

describe("Gas Optimization", function () {

it("Compare gas usage between implementations", async function () {

const Implementation1 =

await ethers.getContractFactory("OptimizedContract");

const Implementation2 = await ethers.getContractFactory(

"UnoptimizedContract",

);

const contract1 = await Implementation1.deploy();

const contract2 = await Implementation2.deploy();

const tx1 = await contract1.doSomething();

const receipt1 = await tx1.wait();

const tx2 = await contract2.doSomething();

const receipt2 = await tx2.wait();

console.log("Optimized gas:", receipt1.gasUsed.toString());

console.log("Unoptimized gas:", receipt2.gasUsed.toString());

expect(receipt1.gasUsed).to.be.lessThan(receipt2.gasUsed);

});

});

```

Coverage Reporting

```bash

# Generate coverage report

npx hardhat coverage

# Output shows:

# File | % Stmts | % Branch | % Funcs | % Lines |

# -------------------|---------|----------|---------|---------|

# contracts/Token.sol | 100 | 90 | 100 | 95 |

```

Contract Verification

```javascript

// Verify on Etherscan

await hre.run("verify:verify", {

address: contractAddress,

constructorArguments: [arg1, arg2],

});

```

```bash

# Or via CLI

npx hardhat verify --network mainnet CONTRACT_ADDRESS "Constructor arg1" "arg2"

```
