Given a contract:
contract Example {
function totalPriceBuggy(uint96 price, uint32 quantity) public pure returns (uint128) {
unchecked {
return uint120(price) * quantity; // buggy type casting: uint120 vs uint128
}
}
}
You write some property-based tests (in Solidity):
contract ExampleTest is Example {
function testTotalPriceBuggy(uint96 price, uint32 quantity) public pure {
uint128 total = totalPriceBuggy(price, quantity);
assert(quantity == 0 || total >= price);
}
}
Then you can run fuzz testing to quickly check those properties for some random inputs:
$ forge test
[PASS] testTotalPriceBuggy(uint96,uint32) (runs: 256, μ: 462, ~: 466)
Once it passes, you can also perform symbolic testing to verify the same properties for all possible inputs (up to a specified limit):
$ halmos --function test
[FAIL] testTotalPriceBuggy(uint96,uint32) (paths: 6, time: 0.10s, bounds: [])
Counterexample: [p_price_uint96 = 39614081294025656978550816768, p_quantity_uint32 = 1073741824]
(In this specific example, Halmos discovered an input that violated the assertion, which was missed by the fuzzer!)
