Testing

To verify whether the installation was successful, you can execute the following test script:

source NICO-test.bash

This script will run a series of tests for the nicoaudio, nicoface and nicomotion modules (see below). Note that it will only test functions independant of external hardware. Tests for the nicomotion require pyrep.

If you only want to test a specific module, you can also run pytest directly in the corresponding test directory, e.g. nicoaudio:

pytest -v src/nicoaudio/tests

Test Coverage

Here is a list of all the existing tests with a short description

Module	Test	Description
nicoaudio	audioplayer_test	Tests basic playback functionality as well as manipulation of duration, volume, pitch and speed.
nicoface	face_test	Tests different face changing methods on a virtual face. It does not require the real robot’s face to be connected.
	serial_test	Uses a virtual serial connection to test if messages can be send and received correctly.
nicomotion	pyrep_motion_test	Simulates NICO with pyrep to test if angles can be adjusted correctly via Motion. This does not require the real robot to be connected.
	visualizer_test	Tests if angles and target position of Visualizer can be set properly.
