About hevm
The hevm project is an implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) made specifically for symbolic execution, unit testing, and debugging of smart contracts. It is developed by DappHub and integrates especially well with the DappHub tool suite. The hevm command line program can symbolically execute smart contracts, run unit tests, interactively debug contracts while showing the Solidity source, or run arbitrary EVM code. Computations can be performed using a local state set up in a testing harness or fetched on demand from live networks using RPC calls. Run a symbolic execution against the given parameters, searching for assertion violations. One can also specialize specific arguments to a function signature while leaving others abstract. hevm uses an eager approach for symbolic execution, meaning that it will first attempt to explore all branches of the program.

Etheno
Etheno is an Ethereum-testing, JSON RPC multiplexer, analysis tool wrapper, and test integration tool. It eliminates the complexity of setting up analysis tools like Echidna on large, multi-contract projects. If you are a smart contract developer, you should use Etheno to test your contracts. If you are an Ethereum client developer, you should use Etheno to perform differential testing on your implementation. Etheno runs a JSON RPC server that can multiplex calls to one or more clients. API for filtering and modifying JSON RPC calls. Enables differential testing by sending JSON RPC sequences to multiple Ethereum clients. Deploy to and interact with multiple networks at the same time. Integration with test frameworks like Ganache and Truffle. Run a local test network with a single command. Use our prebuilt Docker container to quickly install and try Etheno. Etheno can be used in many different ways and therefore, has numerous command-line argument combinations.

Solidity Fuzzing Boilerplate
Solidity Fuzzing Boilerplate is a template repository intended to ease fuzzing components of Solidity projects, especially libraries. Write tests once and run them with both Echidna and Foundry's fuzzing. Fuzz components that use incompatible Solidity versions by deploying those into a Ganache instance via Etheno. Use HEVM's FFI cheat code to generate complex fuzzing inputs or to compare outputs with non-EVM executables while doing differential fuzzing. Publish your fuzzing experiments without worrying about licensing by extending the shell script to download specific files. Turn off FFI if you don't intend to make use of shell commands from your Solidity contracts. Note that FFI is slow and should only be used as a workaround. It can be useful for testing against things that are difficult to implement within Solidity and already exist in other languages. Before executing tests of a project that has FFI enabled, be sure to check what commands are actually being executed.

Echidna
Echidna is a Haskell program designed for fuzzing/property-based testing of Ethereum smart contracts. It uses sophisticated grammar-based fuzzing campaigns based on a contract ABI to falsify user-defined predicates or Solidity assertions. We designed Echidna with modularity in mind, so it can be easily extended to include new mutations or test specific contracts in specific cases. Generates inputs tailored to your actual code. Optional corpus collection, mutation and coverage guidance to find deeper bugs. Powered by Slither to extract useful information before the fuzzing campaign. Source code integration to identify which lines are covered after the fuzzing campaign. Interactive terminal UI, text-only or JSON output. Automatic test case minimization for quick triage. Seamless integration into the development workflow. Maximum gas usage reporting of the fuzzing campaign. Support for a complex contract initialization with Etheno and Truffle.
