Abstract

Today multi-agent systems research is ready to be transferred to the industrial applications. But, testing is one of the most critical processes to increase the acceptability of such systems in industrial settings. In this paper, we introduce a goal-oriented testing approach based on test goal concept. This approach alleges that agent goals are smallest testable units in MAS's instead of agents unlike other agent testing approaches and tools proposed previously. Moreover, we introduce a testing tool, called as SEAUnit, that provides necessary infrastructure to support proposed approach.
