Testing AI-Driven, Mission-Critical Systems: Challenges and Best Practices from Autonomous Platforms
In this session, she will draw from her experience working on testing and quality assurance for mission-critical applications developed for autonomous marine vessels, including Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and fully autonomous submarines.
Key topics I plan to cover include:
• Rigorous testing methodologies for AI-based decision systems in safety-critical environments
• Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with real-world components and sensors
• Simulator-based testing to replicate complex mission and environmental scenarios
• Regulatory and compliance considerations for autonomous systems
• Strategies for ensuring reliability, traceability, and maintainability in AI-powered embedded systems
• Test design derived from technical documentation like SRS and BRDs for high-coverage QA
• Integration testing in containerized environments for scalable validation
