What do people build with it?

USE CASE 1

Run local tests to verify a smart contract transfers tokens correctly before deploying it

USE CASE 2

Check that a voting contract only accepts votes from authorized addresses

USE CASE 3

Use verbose logging flags to debug exactly what a contract did during a test

USE CASE 4

Learn the basic structure of a Foundry test file by example
