Automated Testing of Graphical Models in Heterogeneous Test Environments

TL;DR

This paper presents methods for fully automated testing of SIMULINK models using the slUnit framework, enabling integrated and automated test reports to improve software quality and developer efficiency.

Contribution

It introduces techniques for integrating slUnit tests into a general test framework for automated reporting, enhancing testing automation in heterogeneous environments.

Findings

Automated testing of SIMULINK models is feasible with slUnit.

Integrated test reports improve testing efficiency.

Methods support heterogeneous test environments.

Abstract

Automated and therefore repeatable tests are important in product lines to ensure and maintain quality of software functions as well as efficiency of the developers. This article shows methods for fully automated testing of SIMULINK models with the slUnit framework and techniques for the integration of slUnit tests in a general test framework to allow integrated and automated test reports.
