Course
Unit Testing with ROS Python
Learn how to perform Unit Tests with ROS on the 3 main levels of testing: Python tests, ROS tests, and Integration tests
Course Overview
Description
Currently, there exist thousands of ROS packages, and that number is growing every year. As a robotics developer, you will have to constantly update your code. But it is very easy to introduce errors or bugs. So with this in mind, unit testing becomes an essential tool that allows you to make incremental updates to your code more quickly.
