Research direction
The autotest suite for Copter is likely in Tools/autotest/arducopter.py. The issue requests adding tests for trim and autotrim functionality. Review existing tests in that file for patterns. Comment #3 suggests a possible approach. The tests should set relevant parameters and verify behavior in simulation.
