4. Automated Testing & Validation

Once the initial version of the smart contract code is generated, Nyvo performs validation. This includes compiling the code (to catch any syntax errors) and running automated analyses. Nyvo can generate basic unit tests or scenario tests on the fly to ensure the contract’s core functions work (for instance, it might simulate a few transactions: a token transfer, a vote being cast, etc., to ensure no runtime errors). The AI might also utilize static analysis tools or security linters to scan for known vulnerability patterns. If issues are found, Nyvo’s AI will attempt to debug and fix them autonomously – much like a developer would iterate on code, the AI can revise the contract code to resolve compilation errors or logical mistakes. This iterative refinement continues until the smart contract passes the checks or reaches a satisfactory confidence level. (Nyvo’s approach here is similar to having an AI agent that can write, test, and debug code in a loop, which significantly increases the reliability of the output.)
