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

Unit Testing Patterns
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);
});
});
});

Advanced Testing Patterns
Snapshot and Revert
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
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
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
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
# Generate coverage report
npx hardhat coverage
# Output shows:
# File | % Stmts | % Branch | % Funcs | % Lines |
# -------------------|---------|----------|---------|---------|
# contracts/Token.sol | 100 | 90 | 100 | 95 |
Contract Verification
// Verify on Etherscan
await hre.run("verify:verify", {
address: contractAddress,
constructorArguments: [arg1, arg2],
});
# Or via CLI
npx hardhat verify --network mainnet CONTRACT_ADDRESS "Constructor arg1" "arg2"

- Reentrancy: Test for reentrancy vulnerabilities
- Access Control: Test unauthorized access attempts
- Events: Verify event emissions
- Fixtures: Use fixtures to avoid code duplication
- Mainnet Fork: Test with real contracts
- Fuzzing: Use property-based testing
- CI/CD: Automate testing on every commit
