Nice one.

Isn't there a bloat of tests if you have several 3rd party libraries? What is your experience on detecting changes in 3rd party code, did you catch a lot of bugs, would those bugs be hard to find or easy to spot?? if you can, pls share your experience, it is very interesting

A "bloat of tests" compared to what? Typically I'll write these tests either when I'm learning a new library, using a new part of a library, or when a library becomes difficult to trust. I wouldn't just write them completely blindly.

aha, that was my point, because I assumed you were writing tests for all your 3rd party software (or as much as possible - that's why I thought you'll end up with a lot of tests). I think running contract test against adapters is a good idea and I want to try it out on a small project I am currently working on. But because it is a small project I was wondering what was your experience with this approach - if the errors introduced by changes in 3rd party code were subtle or easily detectable or of both types.
