SITL (Software In The Loop)

Software In The Loop (SITL) is a testing methodology used in the development of software, especially for simulations and control systems. It allows developers to run their code in a simulated environment, mimicking real-world conditions without needing physical hardware. This approach helps identify bugs and test performance early in the development process, making it easier to refine algorithms and improve system behavior. SITL is commonly used in fields like robotics, aerospace, and autonomous vehicles, enabling rigorous testing before actual implementation.
