Inputs
You can develop test scenarios by mapping external data to your test cases. authoring input data, or automatically generating inputs using Simulink® Design Verifier™:
Create a template MAT-file or Excel® file from your model and add values.
Create a test directly from data contained in an Excel files. For more information, see Use External Excel or MAT-File Data in Test Cases.
Map MAT- or Excel files to the system under test.
Generate test inputs Simulink Design Verifier to extend coverage or replicate design error conditions. Add the generated tests to your test file.
Place a Signal Editor block in the system under test and author inputs graphically.
You can also author test inputs that react to simulation behavior by using a Test Sequence block. Use a Test Sequence block to define sets of steps and transitions by using MATLAB® as the action language. You can also use sequential or switched step groups in a hierarchy and create test sequences in a Test Sequence block.
Blocks
Test Sequence | Create simulation testing scenarios, function calls, and assessments |
Tools
Test Manager | Model and code testing in different execution environments, manage test suites, and analyze and report results |
