“…In summary, robotic systems are composed of a large number of processes that interact and compete for resources. A concern during the testing activity is the evaluation of the impact of a characteristic on the results Lima and Cavalli (1997); Lee et al (2002); Brito et al (2009); Lu et al (2011); Pakala et al (2010Pakala et al ( , (2011; Damm et al (2011). A defect can origin from exchanging messages among processes and consequently ensure the coverage of several possibilities of communication from topics increases the confidence of correct executions of the system.…”

Conventional approaches for the validation of robotic systems include simulations and functional software testing. Although these approaches are interesting, they do not offer coverage information to guide the testing activity. In this sense, the introduction of coverage testing to the validation of mobile robotic systems seems to promise. This paper proposes a integration testing approach for robotic systems in a simulation environment. The approach is composed of test scenarios, constructed based on functional testing, and structural testing towards revealing defects and providing a better systematization of the testing activity in this application domain. The proposed approach focuses on systems developed in ROS, the robot operating system, in which communication can be established through a publish/subscribe interaction schema. The paper provides an example of the way the integration testing approach can be applied to robotic systems. An experimental study conducted with developers of mobile robotic systems evaluated the gains and proved the applicability of the approach to the industry. The results confirmed its advantages for the integration testing of mobile robotic systems. It can check functional behavior (test scenarios), or reach a high structural coverage (coverage criteria), and reveal common defects in mobile robotic systems.

“…Em resumo, sistemas robóticos são compostos por um grande número de processos que interagem e concorrem por recursos e uma preocupação durante a atividade de teste é avaliar o impacto dessa característica nos resultados (BRITO et al, 2009;CHA, 2002;LIMA;CAVALLI, 1997;LU et al, 2011;RAJU, 2010;KHAN, 2011;DAMM et al, 2011). Um defeito pode estar relacionado com a comunicação entre os processos e garantir a cobertura das diversas situações de comunicação por tópicos aumenta a confiança de que as interações entre as unidades são executadas corretamente.…”
