How to audit a smart contract?

A smart contract is a program (code) that runs on a blockchain. It automatically acts under specific conditions. The most important task when developing contracts is to ensure a high level of security and code quality. Therefore, before implementing it, you need to check the code for errors and inaccuracies. There are several effective ways to check a smart contract.

    If you do not want to contact smart contract audit companies, then you can test the code yourself (or by hiring several developers). This is not the best option, but it has a right to life. The first step is testing individual parts of the smart contract.

    These are the same tests, but using previously tested code. However, this is already an updated contract code. This is what the code will look like after making the appropriate adjustments.

    Do your research on how modules and contracts interact with each other. In fact, this is a test of the system's operation.
