## Forge Testing
### Basic Test
```solidity
// test/Counter.t.sol
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
import "forge-std/Test.sol";
import "../src/Counter.sol";
contract CounterTest is Test {
Counter public counter;
function setUp() public {
counter = new Counter();
counter.setNumber(0);
}
function test_Increment() public {
counter.increment();
assertEq(counter.number(), 1);
}
function testFail_Underflow() public {
counter.decrement();
}
}
```
### Fuzz Testing
```solidity
contract FuzzTest is Test {
function testFuzz_SetNumber(uint256 x) public {
counter.setNumber(x);
assertEq(counter.number(), x);
}
function testFuzz_BoundedInput(uint256 x) public {
x = bound(x, 1, 100);
// x is now between 1 and 100
}
}
```
### Invariant Testing
```solidity
contract InvariantTest is Test {
Counter public counter;
function setUp() public {
counter = new Counter();
targetContract(address(counter));
}
function invariant_NumberNeverNegative() public {
assertTrue(counter.number() >= 0);
}
function invariant_NumberUnderMax() public {
assertTrue(counter.number() < type(uint256).max);
}
}
```
### Fork Testing
```solidity
contract ForkTest is Test {
function setUp() public {
// Fork mainnet at specific block
vm.createSelectFork("mainnet", 18000000);
}
function test_MainnetState() public {
// Interact with mainnet contracts
IERC20 dai = IERC20(0x6B175474E89094C44Da98b954EescdeCB5c811d7);
uint256 balance = dai.balanceOf(address(this));
}
}
```

```bash
# Convert units
cast to-wei 1 ether
cast from-wei 1000000000000000000
# Compute function selector
cast sig "transfer(address,uint256)"
# Get ABI
cast abi-encode "transfer(address,uint256)" 0x... 100
# Decode ABI
cast abi-decode "balanceOf(address)(uint256)" 0x...

## Anvil Local Node
```bash
# Start local node
anvil
# Start with specific chain ID
anvil --chain-id 31337
# Fork mainnet
anvil --fork-url $MAINNET_RPC
# Fork at specific block
anvil --fork-url $MAINNET_RPC --fork-block-number 18000000
# Preload accounts
anvil --accounts 20 --balance 10000
```

```bash
# Impersonate account
cast rpc anvil_impersonateAccount 0x... --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
# Set balance
cast rpc anvil_setBalance 0x... 0x1000000000000000000 --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
# Mine blocks
cast rpc anvil_mine 10 --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
# Set block timestamp
cast rpc evm_setNextBlockTimestamp 1700000000 --rpc-url http://localhost:8545
```
## Deployment Scripts
### Script Example
```solidity
// script/Deploy.s.sol
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
import "forge-std/Script.sol";
import "../src/Counter.sol";
contract DeployScript is Script {
function setUp() public {}
function run() public {
uint256 deployerPrivateKey = vm.envUint("PRIVATE_KEY");
vm.startBroadcast(deployerPrivateKey);
Counter counter = new Counter();
counter.setNumber(42);
vm.stopBroadcast();
console.log("Counter deployed at:", address(counter));
}
}
```
### Run Scripts
```bash
# Simulate deployment
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --rpc-url $RPC
# Deploy to network
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --rpc-url $RPC --broadcast
# Verify on Etherscan
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --rpc-url $RPC --broadcast --verify
```
## Chisel REPL
```bash
# Start Chisel
chisel
# In REPL
> uint256 x = 100
> x * 2
200
> address(this)
0x...
```
## Process Integration
| Process | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `smart-contract-development-lifecycle.js` | Full development |
| `smart-contract-fuzzing.js` | Fuzzing and invariant testing |
| `invariant-testing.js` | Property-based testing |
| `gas-optimization.js` | Gas profiling |
| All DeFi processes | Testing and deployment |
## Best Practices
1. Use `forge fmt` before committing
2. Maintain gas snapshots for regression testing
3. Use fork testing for integration tests
4. Set appropriate fuzz runs for CI
5. Use profile-based configuration
6. Keep foundry.toml in version control
