Testing of Autonomous Systems – Challenges and Current State‐of‐the‐Art
Philipp Helle, Wladimir Schamai, Carsten Strobel · INCOSE International Symposium · 2016
Abstract Autonomous systems are on the rise. However, the challenge to test autonomous systems to ensure their safe and fault‐free behaviour is not solved yet. This is especially critical when we consider the fact that autonomous systems are often safety‐critical systems envisaged to interact with humans without explicit human supervision. This paper points out why testing autonomous systems is such a challenge and provides an overview of the current state‐of‐the‐art theory and practice. The gathered information is then condensed into guiding points for the way forward.
