Testing software agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) needs suitable techniques to
evaluate agent's autonomous behaviours as well as distribution, social and deliberative …

The characteristics of self-adaptive, self-organizing systems lead to a significant higher
flexibility and robustness against a changing environment. This flexibility makes it hard to …

In this work, we propose a new test case generation approach that can cover behavioural
scenarios individually in a multi-agent system. The purpose is to identify, in the case of the …

Before deploying a software system we need to assure ourselves (and stakeholders) that the
system will behave correctly. This assurance is usually done by testing the system. However …

The challenges of robotic software testing extend beyond conventional software testing.
Valid, realistic and interesting tests need to be generated for multiple programs and …

Debugging is notoriously difficult and time consuming but also essential for ensuring the
reliability and quality of a software system. In order to reduce debugging effort and enable …

We provide a systematic approach for testing self-organization (SO) algorithms. The main
challenges for such a testing domain are the strongly ramified state space, the possible error …

Scenarios in current design methodologies, provide a natural way for the users to identify
the inputs and outputs of the system revolving around a particular interaction process. A …

AgentTest is a sublanguage of TTCN-3, aimed at specifying and testing agent-based
systems. Its major strength is its unification and automation of abstract test suite generation …

When developing SO mechanisms, mapping requirements to actual designs and
implementations demands a lot of expertise. Among other things, it is important to define the …
