A Tool for Cost-effective Simulation-based Test Selection in Self-driving Cars Software

SDC-Scissor is a tool that let you test self-driving cars more efficiently in simulation. It uses a machine-learning approach to select only relevant test scenarios so that the testing process is faster. Furthermore, the selected tests are diverse and try to challenge the car with corner cases.

Furthermore, this repository contains also code for test multi-objective test case prioritization with an evolutionary genetic search algorithm. If you are interested in prioritizing test cases, then you should read the dedicated README.md for this. If you use the prioritization technique then also cite the papers from the reference section!

Support

We use GitHub Discussions as a community platform. You can ask questions and get support there from the community. Furthermore, new features and releases will be discussed and announced there.
