Hi Joanne,
I understand that you want to perform unit testing on linked library blocks in Simulink and are looking for a more efficient method than creating separate test harnesses and suites for each block.
I assume you are familiar with Simulink Test and the concept of linked library blocks, and you are looking to streamline the testing process.
To efficiently perform unit tests on linked library blocks, consider the following approach:
- Use Simulink Test Harnesses: Create a reusable test harness for each type of linked library block. This harness can be applied to any instance of the block, minimizing redundancy.
- Leverage Parameterization: Use parameterization within your test cases to apply different test data and configurations to the same test harness, reducing the need for multiple test suites.
- Automate Test Execution: Use MATLAB scripts to automate the execution of tests across multiple linked blocks, ensuring consistency and saving time.
- Utilize Test Manager: Organize your tests using the Simulink Test Manager to manage and execute tests efficiently. This allows you to group tests and analyze results systematically.
- Centralize Test Data: Store and manage test data centrally to be reused across different test cases, ensuring consistency and reducing duplication.
Refer to the guide on "Getting Started with Simulink Test" for more information: https://www.mathworks.com/help/sltest/getting-started-with-simulink-test.html: https://www.mathworks.com/help/sltest/ug/create-test-harness.html
Hope this helps!
