Testing and Code Coverage for CosmWasm Contracts

This skill helps you write comprehensive tests and achieve high code coverage for Axone protocol smart contracts.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Write unit tests for contract logic
• Create integration tests with Abstract SDK
• Set up test environments with cw-orch
• Analyze and improve code coverage
• Test error conditions and edge cases

Test Environment Setup

Integration Test Structure

Copy// tests/integration.rs
use my_contract::{
    contract::interface::MyContractInterface,
    msg::{
        MyContractExecuteMsgFns, MyContractInstantiateMsg, 
        MyContractQueryMsgFns, ConfigResponse,
    },
    MyContractError, AXONE_NAMESPACE,
};

use abstract_app::objects::namespace::Namespace;
use abstract_client::{AbstractClient, Application, Environment};
use cosmwasm_std::coins;
use cw_orch::{anyhow, prelude::*};

struct TestEnv<Env: CwEnv> {
    abs: AbstractClient<Env>,
    app: Application<Env, MyContractInterface<Env>>,
}

impl TestEnv<MockBech32> {
    fn setup() -> anyhow::Result<TestEnv<MockBech32>> {
        let mock = MockBech32::new("mock");
        let sender = mock.sender_addr();
        let namespace = Namespace::new(AXONE_NAMESPACE)?;

        // Build Abstract client
        let abs_client = AbstractClient::builder(mock.clone()).build()?;
        
        // Add initial balance
        mock.add_balance(&sender, coins(1_000_000, "uaxone"))?;
        
        // Create publisher account
        let publisher = abs_client
            .account_builder()
            .namespace(namespace)
            .build()?
            .publisher()?;
        
        // Publish and install the app
        publisher.publish_app::<MyContractInterface<_>>()?;
        let app = publisher
            .account()
            .install_app::<MyContractInterface<_>>(
                &MyContractInstantiateMsg::default(), 
                &[]
            )?;

        Ok(TestEnv {
            abs: abs_client,
            app,
        })
    }
}

Test Patterns

Success Case Testing

Copy#[test]
fn successful_install() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let env = TestEnv::setup()?;
    let app = env.app;

    let config = app.config()?;
    assert_eq!(config, ConfigResponse { /* expected */ });
    Ok(())
}

#[test]
fn successful_execute() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let env = TestEnv::setup()?;
    let app = env.app;

    // Execute action
    app.do_something("param")?;
    
    // Verify state changed
    let result = app.query_something()?;
    assert_eq!(result.value, expected_value);
    Ok(())
}

Error Case Testing

Copy#[test]
fn unauthorized_access() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let env = TestEnv::setup()?;
    let app = env.app;

    // Call as non-admin
    let err: MyContractError = app
        .call_as(&Addr::unchecked("not_admin"))
        .admin_only_action()
        .unwrap_err()
        .downcast()
        .unwrap();
    
    assert_eq!(err, MyContractError::Unauthorized {});
    Ok(())
}

Balance and Fund Testing

Copy#[test]
fn balance_operations() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let env = TestEnv::setup()?;
    let account = env.app.account();

    // Add balance to account
    let funds = coins(100, "uaxone");
    account.add_balance(&funds)?;
    
    let balances = account.query_balances()?;
    assert_eq!(balances, funds);

    // Add balance to any address
    let mock_env = env.abs.environment();
    mock_env.add_balance(&env.app.address()?, funds.clone())?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Multiple User Testing

Copy#[test]
fn multi_user_scenario() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let env = TestEnv::setup()?;
    let mock = env.abs.environment();
    
    // Create additional users
    let alice = mock.addr_make("alice");
    let bob = mock.addr_make("bob");
    
    mock.add_balance(&alice, coins(1000, "uaxone"))?;
    mock.add_balance(&bob, coins(1000, "uaxone"))?;
    
    // Test as different users
    env.app.call_as(&alice).user_action()?;
    env.app.call_as(&bob).user_action()?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Running Tests

Copy# Run all unit tests
cargo make test-unit

# Run all tests (includes integration)
cargo make test

# Run tests with coverage
cargo make test-coverage

# Run specific test
cargo test test_name -- --nocapture

Coverage Analysis

After running cargo make test-coverage, coverage is saved to lcov.info.

Viewing Coverage

Copy# Generate HTML report (requires lcov)
genhtml lcov.info --output-directory coverage/

# Or use cargo-llvm-cov directly
cargo llvm-cov --html --open

Coverage Goals

Test Checklist

For Each Handler

• Happy path test
• All parameter variations tested
• Error cases tested (unauthorized, invalid input, etc.)
• State changes verified
• Events/attributes checked if applicable

For Queries

• Empty state returns appropriate response
• Populated state returns correct data
• Pagination works correctly (if applicable)
• Non-existent items handled gracefully

For State

• Initial state after instantiation
• State updates correctly after execute
• State persists across operations

Best Practices

1. Isolate tests - Each test should set up its own environment
2. Test business logic - Focus on contract behavior, not framework
3. Use descriptive names - test_increment_when_paused_fails
4. Assert specific errors - Check exact error type, not just failure
5. Clean up - Don't leave state that could affect other tests
6. Test edge cases - Zero values, max values, empty strings
