Patent attributes
A system and method extends model verification through the creation of composite test objectives. A composite objective includes two or more logically or temporally combined standard or basic test objectives. The basic test objectives selected to form a composite test may be automatically generated by the system or method, or they may be custom defined. A composite test objective represents a new coverage objective that extends model coverage analysis beyond the coverage that is available with the basic test objectives. The system and method also automatically generates one or more test cases for achieving the composite objective. The test cases include input data values for the model, and may cause the specified logical or temporal combination of basic test objectives to evaluate to true at least once during simulation of the model or according to the temporal combination.
