Syntax

covInfo = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject)
covInfo = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject, simMode)
covInfo = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject, ignoreDescendants)
[covInfo, description] = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject)

Description

covInfo = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject) returns decision coverage results from the cvdata object cvdo for the model component specified by modelObject.

covInfo = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject, simMode) returns decision coverage results from the cvdata object cvdo for the model component specified by modelObject for the simulation mode simMode.

covInfo = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject, ignoreDescendants) returns decision coverage results for modelObject, depending on the value of ignoreDescendants.

[covInfo, description] = decisioninfo(cvdo, modelObject) returns decision coverage results and text descriptions of decision points associated with modelObject.

This example shows how to view decision coverage data for a block in your model.

Load the model.

modelName = 'slvnvdemo_cv_small_controller';
load_system(modelName);

Configure the coverage settings for the model by using a Simulink.SimulationInput object.

simIn = Simulink.SimulationInput(modelName);
simIn = setModelParameter(simIn,'CovEnable','on');
simIn = setModelParameter(simIn,'CovMetricStructuralLevel','Decision');
simIn = setModelParameter(simIn,'CovSaveSingleToWorkspaceVar','on');
simIn = setModelParameter(simIn,'CovSaveName','covData');

Simulate the model by passing simIn as the input to sim.

simOut = sim(simIn);

Extract the coverage data as a cvdata object from the SimulationOutput object, simOut.

covData = simOut.covData;

View the decision coverage results for the Saturation block by calling decisioninfo with the block path.

blockPath = [modelName,'/Saturation'];
decisionCov = decisioninfo(covData,blockPath)

decisionCov =

     3     4

decisioninfo returns an array with two scalars. The first value is the number of satisfied decision outcomes, and the second value is the number of total decision outcomes. Use these to determine the percentage of satisfied decision outcomes for the Saturation block.

percentDecisionCov = 100 * decisionCov(1) / decisionCov(2)

percentDecisionCov =

    75

Coverage data, specified as a cvdata object.

Data Types: cvdata

Model object, specified as a character array, string array, Simulink handle, Stateflow ID, or cell array.

To specify a model object, such as a block or a Stateflow chart, use one of these formats:

Object SpecificationDescription

BlockPath

Full path to a model or block

BlockHandle

Handle to a model or block

slObj

Handle to a Simulink API object

sfID

Stateflow ID

sfObj

Handle to a Stateflow API object from a singly instantiated Stateflow chart

{BlockPath, sfID}

Cell array with the path to a Stateflow chart or atomic subchart and the ID of an object contained in that chart or subchart

{BlockPath, sfObj}

Cell array with the path to a Stateflow chart or subchart and a Stateflow object API handle contained in that chart or subchart

{BlockHandle, sfID}

Cell array with a handle to a Stateflow chart or atomic subchart and the ID of an object contained in that chart or subchart

To specify an S-Function block or its contents, use one of these formats:

Object SpecificationDescription

{BlockPath, fName}

Cell array with the path to an S-Function block and the name of a source file

{BlockHandle, fName}

Cell array with an S-Function block handle and the name of a source file

{BlockPath, fName, funName}

Cell array with the path to an S-Function block, the name of a source file, and a function name

{BlockHandle, fName, funName}

Cell array with an S-Function block handle, the name of a source file, and a function name

To specify a code coverage result, such as coverage data collected during software-in-the-loop (SIL) or processor-in-the-loop (PIL) analysis, use one of these formats:

Object SpecificationDescription

{fileName, funName}

Cell array with the name of a source file and a function name

{Model, fileName}

Cell array with a model name or model handle and the name of a source file

{Model, fileName, funName}

Cell array with a model name or model handle, the name of a source file, and a function name

Data Types: char | string | cell | Stateflow.State | Stateflow.Transition

Simulation mode during coverage analysis, specified as one of these options:

Object SpecificationDescription

"Normal"

Model in normal simulation mode.

"SIL" or "PIL"

"ModelRefSIL" or "ModelRefPIL"

Model reference in SIL or PIL simulation mode.

"ModelRefTopSIL" or "ModelRefTopPIL"

Model reference in SIL or PIL simulation mode with the code interface set to top model.

Data Types: char | string

Whether to ignore descendants in coverage results, specified as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false), where:

  • 0 (false) includes coverage results of descendant objects.

  • 1 (true) ignores coverage results of descendant objects.

Data Types: single | double | logical

Output Arguments
