## basic solidity unity test
<br>
### assert vs. require
* Assert() should only be used to test for internal errors, and to check invariants.
* Require() should be used to ensure valid conditions are met that cannot be detected until execution time.
* You may optionally provide a message for require, but not for assert.
<br>
### functions
<br>
functions in a test file to make testing more structural:
* `beforeEach()` - Runs before each test
* `beforeAll()` - Runs before all tests
* `afterEach()` - Runs after each test
* `afterAll()` - Runs after all tests
<br>
a generic unit testing file looks like:
```
pragma solidity >=0.4.22 <0.8.0;
import "remix_tests.sol"; // this import is automatically injected by Remix.
import "remix_accounts.sol";
// Import here the file to test.
// File name has to end with '_test.sol', this file can contain more than one testSuite contracts
contract testSuite {
/// 'beforeAll' runs before all other tests
/// More special functions are: 'beforeEach', 'beforeAll', 'afterEach' & 'afterAll'
function beforeAll() public {
// Here should instantiate tested contract
Assert.equal(uint(1), uint(1), "1 should be equal to 1");
}
function checkSuccess() public {
// Use 'Assert' to test the contract,
// See documentation: https://remix-ide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/assert_library.html
Assert.equal(uint(2), uint(2), "2 should be equal to 2");
Assert.notEqual(uint(2), uint(3), "2 should not be equal to 3");
}
function checkSuccess2() public pure returns (bool) {
// Use the return value (true or false) to test the contract
return true;
}
function checkFailure() public {
Assert.equal(uint(1), uint(2), "1 is not equal to 2");
}
/// Custom Transaction Context
/// See more: https://remix-ide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unittesting.html#customization
/// #sender: account-1
/// #value: 100
function checkSenderAndValue() public payable {
// account index varies 0-9, value is in wei
Assert.equal(msg.sender, TestsAccounts.getAccount(1), "Invalid sender");
Assert.equal(msg.value, 100, "Invalid value");
}
}
```
note that ine can input custom values for `msg.sender` & `msg.value` of transaction using NatSpec comments.
