Customize Your Process Model

Define a repeatable process for your development and verification activities by using a process model

When your team has a standard process for local prequalification and CI builds, you can efficiently enforce guidelines and make collaboration easier. With the CI/CD Automation for Simulink Check support package, you can define a consistent process for your team by using a process model file. The support package includes a default process model with built-in tasks for automating common development and verification activities.

The process model uses tasks represent the steps in your process and queries to automatically find relevant artifacts. You can customize your process by adding and removing tasks, reconfiguring task behavior, specifying relationships between tasks, and finding specific sets of artifacts by using queries. You can use the built-in tasks and queries or create your own custom tasks and queries. When you are ready to deploy your process to your team, you can run the tasks in the process by using the Process Advisor app or the runprocess function.

To get started with the default process model, see Modify Default Process Model to Fit Your Process. For information on how tasks and queries define your process, see Overview of Process Model.
