Testing and debugging activities are getting more relevance in multi-agent systems (MAS) as agents become part of real applications. Both activities are related, since failures to be debugged are frequently detected during the execution of tests. The support for these activities is not yet as complete as other activities of MAS development. However, agent oriented software engineering methodologies are incorporating new testing and debugging features. In this direction, the paper introduces advances made in the INGENIAS agent development framework towards a complete coverage of testing and debugging activities. The advances are compared with respect to a categorisation of related works in the agent literature. This categorisation will be useful for evaluating and planning issues for improvement in the context of INGENIAS.
