Quick Reference

# Location of tools (adjust to your skill installation path)
SKILL_DIR=<your-workspace>/skills/sui-coverage

# Full workflow
cd /path/to/move/package
sui move test --coverage --trace
python3 $SKILL_DIR/analyze_source.py -m <module> -o coverage.md

Workflow: Auto-Improve Test Coverage

Step 1: Run Coverage Analysis

cd <package_path>
sui move test --coverage --trace
python3 $SKILL_DIR/analyze_source.py -m <module_name> -o coverage.md

Step 2: Read the Coverage Report

Read the generated coverage.md to identify:

• 🔴 Uncalled functions - Functions never executed
• 🔴 Uncovered assertions - assert!() failure paths not tested
• 🔴 Uncovered branches - if/else paths not taken

Step 3: Write Missing Tests

For each uncovered item, write a test:

A. Uncalled Function

#[test]
fun test_<function_name>() {
    // Setup
    let mut ctx = tx_context::dummy();
    // Call the uncovered function
    <function_name>(...);
    // Assert expected behavior
}

B. Assertion Failure Path (expect_failure)

#[test]
#[expected_failure(abort_code = <ERROR_CODE>)]
fun test_<function>_fails_when_<condition>() {
    let mut ctx = tx_context::dummy();
    // Setup state that triggers the assertion failure
    <function_call_that_should_fail>();
}

C. Branch Coverage (if/else)

#[test]
fun test_<function>_when_<condition_true>() { ... }

#[test]  
fun test_<function>_when_<condition_false>() { ... }

Step 4: Verify Coverage Improved

sui move test --coverage --trace
python3 $SKILL_DIR/analyze_source.py -m <module_name>

Common Patterns

Testing Assertion Failures

// Source code:
public fun withdraw(balance: &mut u64, amount: u64) {
    assert!(*balance >= amount, EInsufficientBalance);  // ← This failure path
    *balance = *balance - amount;
}

// Test for the failure path:
#[test]
#[expected_failure(abort_code = EInsufficientBalance)]
fun test_withdraw_insufficient_balance() {
    let mut balance = 50;
    withdraw(&mut balance, 100);  // Should fail: 50 < 100
}

Testing All Branches

// Source code:
public fun classify(value: u64): u8 {
    if (value == 0) {
        0
    } else if (value < 100) {
        1
    } else {
        2
    }
}

// Tests for all branches:
#[test]
fun test_classify_zero() {
    assert!(classify(0) == 0, 0);
}

#[test]
fun test_classify_small() {
    assert!(classify(50) == 1, 0);
}

#[test]
fun test_classify_large() {
    assert!(classify(100) == 2, 0);
}

Testing Object Lifecycle

#[test]
fun test_full_lifecycle() {
    let mut ctx = tx_context::dummy();
    
    // Create
    let obj = create(&mut ctx);
    assert!(get_value(&obj) == 0, 0);
    
    // Modify
    increment(&mut obj);
    assert!(get_value(&obj) == 1, 0);
    
    // Destroy
    destroy(obj);
}

Error Code Reference

When writing #[expected_failure] tests, use the error constant name:

// If the module defines:
const EInvalidInput: u64 = 1;
const ENotAuthorized: u64 = 2;

// Use in test:
#[expected_failure(abort_code = EInvalidInput)]
fun test_invalid_input() { ... }

// Or use the module-qualified name:
#[expected_failure(abort_code = my_module::EInvalidInput)]
fun test_invalid_input() { ... }

Example: Full Auto-Coverage Session

# 1. Analyze current coverage
cd /path/to/my_package
sui move test --coverage --trace
python3 $SKILL_DIR/analyze_source.py -m my_module -o coverage.md

# 2. Review what's missing
cat coverage.md
# Shows:
# - decrement() not called
# - assert!(value > 0, EValueZero) failure not tested

# 3. Add tests to sources/my_module.move or tests/my_module_tests.move
# (write the missing tests)

# 4. Verify improvement
sui move test --coverage --trace
python3 $SKILL_DIR/analyze_source.py -m my_module

# 5. Repeat until 100% coverage

Integration with Agent Workflow

When asked to improve test coverage:

1. Run analysis - Get current coverage state
2. Read source - Understand the module's logic
3. Identify gaps - List uncovered functions/branches/assertions
4. Security review - Analyze for vulnerabilities while writing tests
5. Write tests - Create tests for each gap + security edge cases
6. Report findings - Document any security concerns discovered
7. Verify - Re-run coverage to confirm improvement

Always commit test improvements:

git add sources/ tests/
git commit -m "Improve test coverage for <module>"

Security Analysis During Testing

Writing tests = Understanding the contract = Finding vulnerabilities

When writing tests, actively look for these issues:

1. Access Control

Questions to ask:
- Who can call this function?
- Should there be owner/admin checks?
- Can unauthorized users manipulate state?

Red flags:
- Public functions that modify critical state without checks
- Missing capability/witness patterns

2. Integer Overflow/Underflow

Questions to ask:
- What happens at u64::MAX?
- What happens when subtracting from 0?
- Are arithmetic operations checked?

Test pattern:
#[test]
fun test_overflow_boundary() {
    // Test with max values
}

3. State Manipulation

Questions to ask:
- Can state be left in inconsistent state?
- Are all state changes atomic?
- Can partial failures corrupt data?

Red flags:
- Multiple state changes without rollback
- Shared objects without proper locking

4. Economic Exploits

Questions to ask:
- Can someone extract more value than deposited?
- Are there rounding errors that can be exploited?
- Flash loan attack vectors?

Red flags:
- Price calculations without slippage protection
- Unbounded loops over user-controlled data

5. Denial of Service

Questions to ask:
- Can someone block legitimate users?
- Are there unbounded operations?
- Can storage be filled maliciously?

Red flags:
- Vectors that grow unbounded
- Loops over external data

Security Report Template

When analyzing a module, generate a security report:

## Security Analysis: <module_name>

### Summary
- Risk Level: [Low/Medium/High/Critical]
- Issues Found: X

### Findings

#### [SEVERITY] Issue Title
- **Location:** Line XX
- **Description:** What the issue is
- **Impact:** What could happen
- **Recommendation:** How to fix

### Tested Edge Cases
- [ ] Overflow at max values
- [ ] Underflow at zero
- [ ] Unauthorized access attempts
- [ ] Empty/null inputs
- [ ] Reentrancy scenarios

Example: Security-Aware Test

// SECURITY: Testing that non-owner cannot withdraw
#[test]
#[expected_failure(abort_code = ENotOwner)]
fun test_unauthorized_withdraw() {
    // Setup: Create vault owned by ALICE
    // Action: BOB tries to withdraw
    // Expected: Should fail with ENotOwner
}

// SECURITY: Testing overflow protection
#[test]
fun test_deposit_overflow_protection() {
    // Deposit near u64::MAX
    // Verify no overflow occurs
}

// SECURITY: Testing economic invariant
#[test]
fun test_total_supply_invariant() {
    // After any operations:
    // sum(all_balances) == total_supply
}

Full Workflow with Security

# 1. Coverage analysis
sui move test --coverage --trace
python3 $SKILL_DIR/analyze_source.py -m <module> -o coverage.md

# 2. While writing tests, document security findings
# Create SECURITY.md alongside coverage.md

# 3. After tests pass, summarize:
# - Coverage: X% → 100%
# - Security issues found: N
# - Recommendations: ...
