Simulation, Tests, and Coverage with Variants
R2026bAfter you define variant configurations for a model, you can systematically verify
each configuration by simulating the model, running tests, and collecting coverage.
Named configurations reduce the need to manually reconfigure variant choices between
runs. To simulate, specify a variant configuration as input to the
Simulink.SimulationInput object and use sim or
parsim to run single or multiple simulations in parallel. To run
tests, specify variant configurations for test cases or test iterations in Simulink®
Test™ Manager. To measure testing completeness, use Simulink
Coverage™ to collect coverage data during simulations or tests that use variant
configurations.
