Fogo testing: local testing ideas for SVM programs
@Fogo Official I was at my desk at 11:30 p.m., hearing my laptop fan surge while a local validator replayed the same transaction. I need this SVM program stable before Fogo’s testnet—what am I overlooking? Fogo’s push for ultra-low latency has made “test like it’s live” feel urgent, especially since its testnet went public in late March 2025 and community stress tests like Fogo Fishing have been hammering throughput since December. When I’m working locally, I start with deterministic runs: fixed clock, seeded accounts, and snapshots so failures reproduce exactly. I also keep a one-command reset script so I’m never debugging yesterday’s ledger state. Then I add chaos on purpose—randomized account order, simulated network delay, and contention-heavy benchmarks that mimic trading. My goal isn’t perfect coverage; I’m trying to catch the weird edge cases before they show up at 40ms block times.
