Falsification has emerged as an important tool for simulation-based verification of autonomous systems. In this paper, we present extensions to the Scenic scenario specification language and VerifAI toolkit that improve the scalability of sampling-based falsification methods by using parallelism and extend falsification to multi-objective specifications. We first present a parallelized framework that is interfaced with both the simulation and sampling capabilities of Scenic and the falsification capabilities of VerifAI, reducing the execution time bottleneck inherently present in simulation-based testing. We then present an extension of VerifAIs falsification algorithms to support multi-objective optimization during sampling, using the concept of rulebooks to specify a preference ordering over multiple metrics that can be used to guide the counterexample search process. Lastly, we evaluate the benefits of these extensions with a comprehensive set of benchmarks written in the Scenic language.
