Tests for Code Coverage Analysis

Evaluate thorough code validation and reliability

Code coverage analysis in Simulink® Design Verifier™ involves evaluating how thoroughly the generated code from a Simulink model is tested. This analysis is crucial for ensuring that the code behaves as expected and meets quality standards. Code coverage analysis helps identify parts of the code that have not been executed during testing, which can point to potential weaknesses or untested scenarios.

By performing code coverage analysis, developers can:

  • Identify untested parts of the code.

  • Improve test cases to achieve higher coverage.

  • Ensure compliance with industry standards, such as DO-178C, which often require specific levels of code coverage.

Simulink Design Verifier integrates these analyses into the model-based design workflow, facilitating the testing and validation of both the model and the generated code. This integration helps maintain consistency between the model's behavior and the implemented code, ensuring that the transition from model to code does not introduce errors.
