CoCoTest: A Tool for Model-in-the-Loop Testing of Continuous Controller

We present CoCoTest, a tool for automated testing of continuous controllers at the Model-in-the-Loop stage. CoCoTest combines explorative and exploitative search algorithms to identify scenar- ios in the controller input space that violate or are likely to violate the controller requirements. This enables a scalable and systematic way to test continuous properties of such controllers. Our experi- ments show that CoCoTest identifies critical flaws in the controller design that are rarely found by manual testing and go unnoticed until late stages of embedded software system development.
