Worked on the ArduPilot/ardupilot repository to enhance the reliability of helicopter runup testing by updating the Helicopter Runup Autotest. Focused on aligning the automation framework with the latest rotor state signals, the developer replaced the outdated Governor Engaged check with validation for the new Runup Complete status. This adjustment ensured that the autotest accurately reflected the current helicopter subsystem behavior, reducing flaky results in continuous integration pipelines. Leveraging Python for automation and testing, the work improved feedback loops and increased confidence in release readiness. Emphasis was placed on targeted test maintenance and disciplined version control throughout the process.
