Syntax

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

Description

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

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

covInfo = mcdcinfo(cvdo,modelObject,ignoreDescendants) returns MCDC results for modelObject, depending on the value of ignoreDescendants.

[covInfo, description] = mcdcinfo(cvdo,modelObject) returns MCDC results and text descriptions of each condition/decision in modelObject.

Collect MCDC coverage for the slvnvdemo_cv_small_controller model and determine the percentage of MCDC coverage collected for the Logic block in the Gain subsystem:

mdl = 'slvnvdemo_cv_small_controller';
openExample(mdl);
open_system(mdl);
%Create test specification object
testObj = cvtest(mdl)
%Enable MCDC coverage
testObj.settings.mcdc = 1;
%Simulate model
data = cvsim(testObj)
%Retrieve MCDC results for Logic block
blk_handle = get_param([mdl, '/Gain/Logic'], 'Handle');
cov = mcdcinfo(data, blk_handle)
%Percentage of MCDC outcomes covered
percent_cov = 100 * cov(1) / cov(2)

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
