# Web3 Smart Contract Testing
Master comprehensive testing strategies for smart contracts using Hardhat, Foundry, and advanced testing patterns.
## When to Use This Skill
- 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);
});
});
});
```

}
// Test with cheatcodes
function testDealAndPrank() public {

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;

## Advanced Testing Patterns
### Snapshot and Revert
```javascript
describe("Complex State Changes", function () {
let snapshotId;
beforeEach(async function () {
snapshotId = await network.provider.send("evm_snapshot")Build production Apache Airflow DAGs with best practices for operators, sensors, testing, and deployment. Use when creating data pipelines, orchestrating workflows, or scheduling batch jobs.
Migrate from AngularJS to Angular using hybrid mode, incremental component rewriting, and dependency injection updates. Use when upgrading AngularJS applications, planning framework migrations, or modernizing legacy Angular code.
Master REST and GraphQL API design principles to build intuitive, scalable, and maintainable APIs that delight developers. Use when designing new APIs, reviewing API specifications, or establishing API design standards.
Write and maintain Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) following best practices for technical decision documentation. Use when documenting significant technical decisions, reviewing past architectural choices, or establishing decision processes.
Implement proven backend architecture patterns including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design. Use this skill when designing clean architecture for a new microservice, when refactoring a monolith to use bounded contexts, when implementing hexagonal or onion architecture patterns, or when debugging dependency cycles between application layers.
Master authentication and authorization patterns including JWT, OAuth2, session management, and RBAC to build secure, scalable access control systems. Use when implementing auth systems, securing APIs, or debugging security issues.
Audit and rewrite prose so it stops reading as machine-generated. Use this skill when asked to remove AI-isms, clean up AI writing, edit a draft for AI tells, audit a README, changelog, release note, PR description, or blog post for machine-sounding prose, or make text sound less like AI. Supports a detect-only mode, a rewrite mode, and an edit-in-place mode, with optional voice and context profiles.
Optimize Bazel builds for large-scale monorepos. Use when configuring Bazel, implementing remote execution, or optimizing build performance for enterprise codebases.
