What This Skill Does

Analyzes test coverage for Sui Move smart contracts, identifies uncovered functions, branches, and assertion failure paths, and guides writing tests to close those gaps. Includes Python scripts for parsing coverage output into readable reports. Combines coverage improvement with security vulnerability analysis during the testing process.

Combines coverage reporting and security auditing in one pass, so gaps in test coverage double as signals for potential vulnerabilities rather than requiring separate tooling.

When to Use It

  • Finding untested functions in a deployed Move module
  • Writing expected_failure tests for assertion edge cases
  • Generating a coverage report before submitting a contract audit
  • Checking branch coverage across if/else logic in Move code
  • Running a security review alongside test gap analysis

# Sui Coverage Skill

Analyze and automatically improve Sui Move test coverage with security analysis.

**GitHub:** <https://github.com/EasonC13-agent/sui-skills/tree/main/sui-coverage>

## Prerequisites

### Install Sui CLI

```bash
# macOS (recommended)
brew install sui

# Other platforms: see official docs
# https://docs.sui.io/guides/developer/getting-started/sui-install
```

Verify:
```bash
sui --version
```

## Quick Reference

```bash
# 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

```bash
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:
- ๐Ÿ”ด **Uncalled functions** - Functions never executed
- ๐Ÿ”ด **Uncovered assertions** - `assert!()` failure paths not tested
- ๐Ÿ”ด **Uncovered branches** - `if/else` paths not taken

### Step 3: Write Missing Tests

For each uncovered item, write a test:

#### A. Uncalled Function
```move
#[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)
```move
#[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)
```move
#[test]
fun test_<function>_when_<condition_true>() { ... }

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

### Step 4: Verify Coverage Improved

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

## Common Patterns

### Testing Assertion Failures

```move
// Source code:
public fun withdraw(balance: &mut u64, amount: u64) {
    assert!(*balance >= amount, EInsufficientBalance);  // โ† 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

```move
// 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

```move
#[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:

```move
// 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

```bash
# 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:
```bash
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:

```markdown
## 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

```move
// 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

```bash
# 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% โ†’ 100%
# - Security issues found: N
# - Recommendations: ...
```
