2025 A Test Oracle for Reinforcement Learning Software Based on Lyapunov Stability Control Theory
abstract
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has gained significant attention in recent years. As RL software becomes more complex and infiltrates critical application domains, ensuring its quality and correctness becomes increasingly important. An indispensable aspect of software quality/correctness insurance is testing. However, testing RL software faces unique challenges compared to testing traditional software, due to the difficulty on defining the outputs' correctness. This leads to the RL test oracle problem. Current approaches to testing RL software often rely on human oracles, i.e. convening human experts to judge the correctness of RL software outputs. This heavily depends on the availability and quality (including the experiences, subjective states, etc.) of the human experts, and cannot be fully automated. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to design test oracles for RL software by leveraging the Lyapunov stability control theory. By incorporating Lyapunov stability concepts to guide RL training, we hypothesize that a correctly implemented RL software shall output an agent that respects Lyapunov stability control theories. Based on this heuristics, we propose a Lyapunov stability control theory based oracle,$\operatorname{LPEA}(\vartheta, \theta)$, for testing RL software. We conduct extensive experiments over representative RL algorithms and RL software bugs to evaluate our proposed oracle. The results show that our proposed oracle can outperform the human oracle in most metrics. Particularly, LPEA$(\vartheta=100 \%, \theta=75 \%)$outperforms the human oracle by$53.6 \%, 50 \%, 18.4 \%, 34.8 \%, 18.4 \%, 127.8 \%, 60.5 \%, 38.9 \%$, and 31.7 % respectively on accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, true positive rate, true negative rate, false positive rate, false negative rate, and ROC curve's AUC; and LPEA ($\vartheta=100 \%, \theta=50 \%$) outperforms the human oracle by$48.2 \%, 47.4 \%, 10.5 \%, 29.1 \%$,$10.5 \%, 127.8 \%, 60.5 \%, 22.2 \%$, and 26.0 % respectively on these metrics.
