+# SaltyBot Integration Test Suite (Issue #504)
+
+Comprehensive automated testing for the SaltyBot full stack. Verifies all nodes start, topics publish, TF tree is complete, and system remains stable.
+
+## What's Tested
+
+### Main Test (test_launch.py)
+- ✅ All critical nodes start within 30 seconds
+- ✅ Required topics are advertised
+- ✅ TF tree is complete
+- ✅ Sensor data publishing (odometry, IMU, LIDAR, camera)
+- ✅ Person detection topic available
+- ✅ No immediate node crashes
+- ✅ **System stability for 30 seconds** (all nodes remain alive)
+
+### Subsystem Tests (test_subsystems.py)
+- **Sensor Health**: LIDAR scan rate, RealSense RGB/depth, IMU publishing
+- **Perception**: YOLOv8 person detection node alive and publishing
+- **Navigation**: Odometry continuity, TF broadcasts active
+- **Communication**: Rosbridge server running, critical topics bridged
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Quick Test (follow mode, ~45 seconds)
+```bash
+cd jetson/ros2_ws
+colcon build --packages-select saltybot_tests
+source install/setup.bash
+
+# Run all tests
+pytest install/saltybot_tests/lib/saltybot_tests/../../../share/saltybot_tests/ -v -s
+
+# Or directly
+ros2 launch launch_testing launch_test.py ./src/saltybot_tests/test/test_launch.py
+```
+
+### Individual Test File
+```bash
+pytest src/saltybot_tests/test/test_launch.py -v -s
+pytest src/saltybot_tests/test/test_subsystems.py -v
+```
+
+### With colcon test
+```bash
+colcon test --packages-select saltybot_tests --event-handlers console_direct+
+```
+
+## Test Modes
+
+### Follow Mode (Default - Fastest)
+- ✅ Sensors: RPLIDAR, RealSense D435i
+- ✅ Person detection: YOLOv8n
+- ✅ Person follower controller
+- ✅ UWB positioning
+- ✅ Rosbridge WebSocket
+- ❌ SLAM (not required)
+- ❌ Nav2 (not required)
+- **Startup time**: ~30 seconds
+- **Best for**: Quick CI/CD validation
+
+### Indoor Mode (Full Stack)
+- Everything in follow mode +
+- ✅ SLAM: RTAB-Map with RGB-D + LIDAR
+- ✅ Nav2 navigation stack
+- **Startup time**: ~45 seconds
+- **Best for**: Complete system validation
+
+## Test Output
+
+### Success Example
+```
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_01_critical_nodes_start PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_02_required_topics_advertised PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_03_tf_tree_complete PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_04_odometry_publishing PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_05_sensors_publishing PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_06_person_detection_advertised PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_07_no_immediate_crashes PASSED
+test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_08_system_stability_30s PASSED
+```
+
+### Failure Example
+```
+FAILED test_launch.py::TestSaltyBotStackLaunch::test_02_required_topics_advertised
+  AssertionError: Required topics not advertised: ['/uwb/target', '/person/detections']
+  Advertised: ['/camera/color/image_raw', '/scan', ...]
+```
+
+## CI Integration
+
+Add to your CI/CD pipeline:
+```yaml
+- name: Run Integration Tests
+  run: |
+    source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
+    colcon build --packages-select saltybot_tests
+    colcon test --packages-select saltybot_tests --event-handlers console_direct+
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Nodes Don't Start
+- Check hardware connections: RPLIDAR, RealSense, UWB anchors
+- Review full_stack.launch.py for required serial ports
+- Check logs: `ros2 run rqt_graph rqt_graph`
+
+### Topics Missing
+- Verify nodes are alive: `ros2 node list`
+- Check topic list: `ros2 topic list`
+- Inspect topics: `ros2 topic echo /scan` (first 10 messages)
+
+### TF Tree Incomplete
+- Verify robot_description is loaded
+- Check URDF: `ros2 param get /robot_state_publisher robot_description`
+- Monitor transforms: `ros2 run tf2_tools view_frames.py`
+
+### Sensor Data Not Publishing
+- **RPLIDAR**: Check `/dev/ttyUSB0` permissions
+- **RealSense**: Check USB connection, device list: `rs-enumerate-devices`
+- **IMU**: Verify RealSense firmware is current
+
+### Test Timeout
+- Integration tests default to 120s per test
+- Increase timeout in `conftest.py` if needed
+- Check system load: `top` or `htop`
+

+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+### NodeChecker
+Waits for nodes to appear in the ROS graph. Useful for verifying startup sequence.
+
+### TFChecker
+Ensures TF tree is complete (all required frame transforms exist).
+
+### TopicMonitor
+Tracks message counts and publishing rates for sensors.
+
+## Contributing
+
+Add new integration tests in `test/`:
+1. Create `test_feature.py` with `unittest.TestCase` subclass
+2. Use `NodeChecker`, `TFChecker`, `TopicMonitor` helpers
+3. Follow test naming: `test_01_critical_functionality`
+4. Run locally: `pytest test/test_feature.py -v -s`
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+| Component | Startup | Rate | Status |
+|-----------|---------|------|--------|
+| Robot description | <1s | N/A | ✅ |
+| RPLIDAR driver | <2s | 10 Hz | ✅ |
+| RealSense | <2s | 30 Hz | ✅ |
+| Person detection | <6s | 5 Hz | ✅ |
+| Follower | <9s | 10 Hz | ✅ |
+| Rosbridge | <17s | N/A | ✅ |
+| Full stack stable | 30s | N/A | ✅ |
