Software for autonomous systems is hard to test, given their complex reactions as well as safety-critical behavior. Here simulation-based testing of the control software using a simu-lation of the environment and the platform of the system sup-ports verification without threat to system and environment. A model-based construction of the simulated environment en-ables an effective verification by systematically assessing re-liability issues and robustness aspects while improving its ef-ficiency by simplifying the reuse of virtual environment. We demonstrate such a systematic approach for the verification of the control software of an autonomous unmanned arial ve-hicle, using Simulink as simulation environment. 1.
