Abstract (EN): METIS, the Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph, will be one of the first instruments to be used at ESO's 39m Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), that is currently under construction. With that, a number of firsts are to be addressed in the development of METIS' single-conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO) system: the size of the telescope and the associated complexity of the wavefront control tasks, the unique scientific capabilities of METIS, including high contrast imaging, the interaction with the newly established, integrated wavefront control infrastructure of the ELT, the integration of the near-infrared Pyramid Wavefront Sensor and other key Adaptive Optics (AO) hardware embedded within a large, fully cryogenic instrument. METIS and it's AO system have passed the final design review and are now in the manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing phase. The firsts are approached through a compact hard- and software design and an extensive test program to mature METIS SCAO before it is deployed at the telescope. This program includes significant investments in test setups that allow to mimic conditions at the ELT. A dedicated cryo-test facility allows for subsystem testing independent of the METIS infrastructure. A telescope simulator is being set up for end-to-end laboratory tests of the AO control system together with the final SCAO hardware. Specific control algorithm prototypes will be tested on sky. In this contribution, we present the progress of METIS SCAO with an emphasis on the preparation for the test activities foreseen to enable a successful future deployment of METIS SCAO at the ELT.
