arXiv:2607.07029v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) policies can be unsafe and vulnerable to attacks. Ensuring their reliability is often a pain point as existing automated testing methods target only selected environments, testing scenarios, and RL algorithms. To address this, we propose a comprehensive framework for testing single- and multi-agent RL policies under varying conditions. Our implementation of this framework, Gimitest, is an open-source tool that supports various gym frameworks and allows for modifications of their integrated components. This article desc
The increasing deployment of AI policies in critical applications necessitates robust testing methodologies, particularly as RL agents become more complex and autonomous.
Ensuring the reliability and safety of AI, especially reinforcement learning policies, is paramount for their broader adoption and for mitigating potential risks in diverse applications.
The availability of comprehensive, open-source testing frameworks like Gimitest changes how RL policies can be rigorously evaluated, moving beyond ad-hoc methods to more systematic verification.
