Testing Standards

Language Rule

• Always respond in the same language the user is using. If the user asks in Chinese, respond in Chinese. If in English, respond in English.

Test Organization

• One test contract per source contract: MyToken.sol → MyToken.t.sol
• File location: All tests in test/ directory
• Naming: test_<feature>_<scenario> for passing tests, testFail_<feature>_<scenario> for expected reverts
  • Example: test_transfer_revertsWhenInsufficientBalance
  • Example: test_stake_updatesBalanceCorrectly
• Independence: Each test must run in isolation — use setUp() for shared state, no cross-test dependencies
• Filtering: Support --match-test and --match-contract for targeted runs

Coverage Requirements

Every core function must have tests covering:

Scenario	What to verify
Happy path	Standard input → expected output, correct state changes
Permission checks	Unauthorized caller → vm.expectRevert with correct error
Boundary conditions	Zero values, max values (type(uint256).max), off-by-one
Failure scenarios	Every require / revert / custom error path
State changes	Storage updates, balance changes, event emissions (vm.expectEmit)
Edge cases	Empty arrays, duplicate calls, self-transfers

Foundry Cheatcodes Quick Reference

Cheatcode	Usage
vm.prank(addr)	Next call from addr
vm.startPrank(addr)	All calls from addr until vm.stopPrank()
vm.warp(timestamp)	Set block.timestamp
vm.roll(blockNum)	Set block.number
vm.deal(addr, amount)	Set ETH balance
vm.expectRevert(error)	Next call must revert with specific error
vm.expectEmit(true,true,false,true)	Verify event emission (topic checks)
vm.record() / vm.accesses()	Track storage reads/writes
makeAddr("name")	Create labeled address for readable traces

Fuzz Testing Rules

• All math-heavy and fund-flow functions must have fuzz tests
• Pattern: function testFuzz_<name>(uint256 amount) public
• Use vm.assume() to constrain inputs: vm.assume(amount > 0 && amount < MAX_SUPPLY);
• Default runs: 256 — increase to 10,000+ for critical functions: forge test --fuzz-runs 10000
