Monitoring and Diagnosis of Faults in Tests of Rational Agents based on Condition-action Rules
Raquel Silveira, Gustavo Augusto Lima de Campos, Mariela I. Cortés · 2015
In theoretical references available to guide the design of agents, there are few testing techniques to validate them. It is known that this validation depends on the selected test cases, which should generate information that identifies the components of the agent tested that are causing unsatisfactory performance. In this paper, we propose an approach that aims to contribute to the testing of these programs, incorporating the ProMon agent in the testing process of rational agents. This agent monitors the testing and diagnosis of faults present in a tested agent, identifying the subsystem information-processing agent that is causing the faults to the designer. The first experiments are aimed at evaluating the approach by selecting test cases for simple reactive agents with internal states and in partially observable environments.
