MDPFuzz Replication

Replicate of MDPFuzz

This repository contains a re-implementation the policy testing framework MDPFuzz, whose original code can be found here. This tool has been used in the paper Replicability Study: Policy Testing with MDPFuzz.

Installation

You can install the package with pip:

pip install mdpfuzz

One can also want to install the package locally:

git clone https://github.com/QuentinMaz/MDPFuzz_Replication mdpfuzz
cd mdpfuzz
pip install -e .

In the latter case, don't forget to append the folder mdpfuzz/ to your path.

Usage

The Fuzzer class (mdpfuzz/mdpfuzz.py) provides functions for fuzzing with and without GMM guidance, as well as a simple random testing procedure. It inputs an Executor object, which is responsible for generating and mutating inputs (also called seeds), loading the policy under test and executing test cases (i.e., running the policy with a given input). As such, using the package involves 3 simple steps:

1. Implementing a Executor class for your use case.
2. Creating an executor, loading the model under test and instantiate a fuzzer.
3. Running the fuzzer (fuzzing - with or without GMM guidance - or Random Testing) with the testing budget you want!

Example

In the file dqn_mountain_car.py, we test a DQN agent (learnt using the library Stable Baselines3) for the Mountain Car environment.

Setup

Setup a virtual environment with, for instance, conda:

conda create -n demo python=3.10.12
conda activate demo
pip install mdpfuzz
# install gymnasium and stable-baselines3 dependencies
pip install gymnasium==0.29.1
pip install stable-baselines3==2.2.1

Make sure to activate the virtual environment (conda activate demo) before executing the script!

Additionally, we provide the script as a Jupyter notebook in which with we detail each step of the demonstration. If you use the notebook, install the following dependency in the virtual environment: pip install ipykernel.

The demonstration consists of:

1. Learning and saving the DQN agent (dqn_mountain_car.zip).
2. Testing the agent with a budget of 2500 test cases, with both Random Testing and MDPFuzz. The results of Random Testing are recorded in the current directory prefixed by random_testing, while the results of MDPFuzz are prefixed by mdpfuzz.
3. Plotting the evolution of the number of failures found over the test cases by the two methods in the file failure_results_comparison_demo.png.
