ARTEFACTS

Bringing state of the art developer tools to robotics engineering

Testing, Continous Integration and Simulation allow for faster development cycles and lower risk of regressions in software and robot enginnering. Artefacts provides a cloud-based platform specifically designed to help you test and simulate your robot code as often as you make changes, and easily monitor development performance over time. This allows you to spot problems early and save money by speeding up development cycles and reducing the dependency on physical robots to validate your design.

Immediate Continuous Simulation and Continuous Testing

Artefacts guides you in the setup up of simulation-based testing for your robotics projects. Our testing libraries make it easy to get started. All integrate smoothly with ROS 2 projects, and can work with any framework.

Keep Track of Your Test Results

No more need to manually keep track of what went wrong with which parameters. Everything is logged, helping regression analysis and team discussions.

Resolve Issues Faster

You can include extra test outputs to provide context

Metrics: report application performance such as tact time
Charts: visualize simulation and robot state over time
Videos: to quickly see what happened
Rosbags: for in-depth analysis

Parametrized tests easily scale in the Cloud

No need to be tied to a developer machine, we take care of the infrastructure
Run from the command line or automatically by linking your GitHub repository
Run tests in parallel and go through many paramater variations to get insights into your application's robustness

Integrate with your Continuous Integration pipeline

Add the Artefacts Github Action to your workflow configuration
Display test health with the status badge in your README
