Testing Playground

Testing Playground – GearUp Studio

Simulate, test, and debug your contract logic before deploying — all visually, no code required.

The Testing Playground in GearUp Studio allows individuals to simulate their contracts in a safe, real-time environment before deploying them to the blockchain. With just a few clicks, you can test your full contract logic using sample wallets, tokens, and time-triggers — without writing a single line of code.


🎯 Why Testing Matters

Smart contracts are immutable once deployed. The Testing Playground allows you to:

  • Catch logic errors before they go live

  • Simulate user interactions (wallets, transfers, time triggers)

  • Preview gas usage, execution order, and flow behavior

  • Validate blocks working together (e.g. triggers, actions, restrictions)

  • Ensure security and flow safety using test scenarios


🧪 What You Can Simulate

  • ✅ Transfers, swaps, tax collections

  • ✅ Wallet role logic (e.g. onlyOwner, whitelisting)

  • ✅ Timed triggers (e.g. “every 24h” or “after 7 days”)

  • ✅ Event conditions (e.g. “if market cap hits X”)

  • ✅ Multistep flows (e.g. “collect + swap + distribute”)

You can also simulate errors like insufficient balances, missing inputs, or blocked access.


🧱 How to Use the Playground

  1. Open your contract in the Studio Canvas

  2. Click “Test Mode”

  3. Choose a simulated chain (e.g. Linea Sepolia, Local VM)

  4. Select test wallets, balances, and token conditions

  5. Execute specific functions or full contract flows

  6. Review logs, return values, and warnings

You can run as many tests as you want — no gas fees, no risks.


🔍 Visual Execution Flow

During simulation, you’ll see:

  • Active block execution path (highlighted)

  • Gas estimation per block

  • Return values per action

  • Warnings for untriggered logic or failed conditions

All logs are shown in a readable format (e.g. “User X sent 1 ETH → Swap → Treasury received 990 USDC”).


🧠 Scrappy AI Support

While testing, you can:

  • Ask Scrappy AI to explain what went wrong

  • Get help modifying your logic on the spot

  • Ask for optimization advice (e.g. “Can I reduce gas here?”)

  • Debug a function using error analysis tools

Example:

Q: Why didn’t this LP add function trigger?
Scrappy: “The LP Add block requires ETH balance ≥ 0.5. Try increasing test wallet funding.”

🔁 Testnet Deployment (Advanced)

Once you're confident, click “Deploy to Testnet”:

  • Deploys your contract to Linea Sepolia or other supported testnets

  • Real interaction with test wallets and tokens

  • Simulate user usage in a live but risk-free environment

Use this to prepare for real-world deployment and confirm logic integrity on-chain.


🛠️ What’s Coming Next

  • Collaborative testing (team test flows)

  • Live transaction simulation against public contracts

  • Fork testing (simulate state from real block height)

  • AI-powered test cases generator


The Testing Playground gives you complete confidence in your contracts — no guesswork, no risks, just clear results.
