To run end-to-end module tests in Isaac Sim, start the full simulation, launch your module, and execute predefined test scenarios to verify autonomous stack functionality. This validates correct behavior and integration.

Testing autonomy modules in simulation requires a working autonomy stack, Isaac Sim container access, and test scenarios defined in SKILL.md. These prerequisites ensure the environment can execute and monitor full simulation runs.

Yes, you can record ROS bags during Isaac Sim scenario tests for post-test analysis and regression checks. This captures topics and performance metrics to verify module behavior across local and remote setups.

Simulation validation verifies a ROS2 node by launching the module in the Isaac Sim environment and monitoring nodes, topics, and performance metrics during test runs. This confirms end-to-end participation and correct behavior.

The best way to monitor performance metrics during an Isaac Sim test run is to use automated scenario testing tools that observe nodes and topics while executing predefined scenarios. This enables real-time monitoring and result analysis.

Use Isaac Sim for end-to-end testing after implementing and integrating a module, when you need to verify full simulation environment functionality including monitoring, recording, and analysis. Local unit tests lack the full autonomy stack context.
