Abstract

Multi-agent systems typically consist of a large set of agents that act on behalf of different users. Due to inherent dynamics in the interaction patterns of these agents, the system structure is typically self-organising and appears at runtime. Testing self-organising systems is a severe challenge that has not received the necessary attention within the last decade. Obviously, traditional testing methods reach their limitations and are hardly applicable due to the runtime characteristics and dynamics of self-organisation. In this paper, we argue that we run into a paradoxon if we try to utilise self-organising testing systems. In order to circumvent parts of the underlying limitations, we propose to combine such an approach with instrumented testing.
