Smart Contract Testing: Javascript vs Solidity

Smart contracts, the self-executing code on blockchains, require rigorous testing to ensure their security and functionality. Two primary approaches emerge: testing in Javascript and testing directly in Solidity. This blog post delves into the pros and cons of each method, along with popular frameworks like Hardhat and Foundry. Javascript Testing: Solidity Testing: Hardhat vs. Foundry: […]

Fuzz Testing for Smart Contracts with Foundry

In the ever-evolving world of blockchain technology, securing smart contracts is paramount. These contracts, essentially self-executing programs, hold and manage valuable assets, making them prime targets for malicious attacks. Traditional testing methods often fall short in uncovering hidden vulnerabilities, leaving contracts exposed. This is where fuzz testing steps in, employing a powerful approach to fortify […]

Testing smart contracts with hardhat

Smart contracts, the self-executing programs on blockchains, play a crucial role in decentralized applications (dApps). However, their immutability amplifies the importance of thorough testing. Bugs in a deployed contract can be costly, leading to unexpected behavior and even potential loss of funds. This is where Hardhat comes into play, offering a robust and developer-friendly environment […]
