Deep-sea operations of remotely-operated vehicles (ROV) need robust testing and deployment strategies beyond the traditional pre-deployment validation on real hardware. Seamless integration of simulated components into the validation pipeline allows for rapid development of components and validation under controlled conditions. We describe the benefits arising from such a continuous integration and validation approach as well as an example setup in the EU project DexROV.
