Summary
To summarize the process of writing tests with MultiTest, leveraging both pure CosmWasm
libraries and the Sylvia framework, let’s review the general structure of a test. High-quality tests
typically follow a series of common steps to ensure thorough validation and reliability.
By adhering to these structured steps, you can create maintainable and robust test suites that effectively validate your CosmWasm contracts:
Initialize the chain
🖝 Set up the blockchain simulator for testing.
Store contract(s) on chain
🖝 Upload the contract(s) code to the chain.
Instantiate contract(s)
🖝 Instantiate contract(s) with the desired initial state.
Interact with contract(s)
🖝 Perform actions such as queries and executes on instantiated contract(s).
Assert expected results
🖝 Verify the outcomes against expected values to confirm correct behavior.
While the detailed implementation of each step may vary depending on whether you are using pure CosmWasm libraries or the Sylvia framework — and will also differ based on the specifics of the test — the overall structure remains consistent, as outlined above.
