rcl

Library to support implementation of language specific ROS Client Libraries.

system_tests

System Tests is a testing framework for ROS 2 that validates the complete functionality of the rclcpp (C++) and rclpy (Python) client libraries. These tests ensure that core ROS 2 features work correctly across different RMW (ROS Middleware) implementations, providing confidence in the stability and interoperability of the ROS 2 ecosystem. ## Key Features - **Comprehensive Core Testing** — Tests the complete ROS 2 core functionality using real nodes and services - **Multi-RMW Validation** — Runs tests against each RMW implementation to ensure middleware compatibility - **Template-Based Development** — Provides existing tests as templates for creating new system tests - **Service Testing** — Includes examples of server and client executables for testing service interactions - **GTEST Integration** — Uses Google Test framework for writing and executing test cases ## Philosophy The project follows a systematic approach to testing ROS 2's fundamental capabilities, emphasizing reliability and cross-compatibility between different middleware implementations to maintain the framework's robustness.
