Help with a simple trigger

Dear all,
I have 2 custom fields on the Contract object. 
Contract Status and Contract Validity

I need to ensure that everytime the Contract record is edited and saved, the Contract Status and Contract Validity fields are updated in the corresponding custom fields on the Account Object. 
I need trigger and test class!!
Thanks

    }
    Map<id,Account> accountIdMap=new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT id,Account_Status__c,Account_Validity__c FROM Account WHERE Id IN : accountIdSet]);
    for(Contract  cont : Trigger.new){
        if(accountIdMap.get(cont.AccountId).!= null)
            cont.Contract_Status__c=accountIdMap.get(cont.AccountId).Account_Status__c;
        if(accountIdMap.get(cont.AccountId).Account_Validity__c!= null)
