How Do You Develop and Test Software?

Model-Based Design with Simulink® and Stateflow®

Reactis plays a number of important roles in a model-based design process. It gives you a set of tools to test, verify, and truly understand your model's behavior and can help you check whether the source code that will ultimately be deployed conforms to the behavior of your model. More on testing and validation of Simulink models.

Testing Simulink Models with Reactis (14 min video)

Reactis for EML Plugin integrates seamlessly with Reactis to offer white-box testing of any portions of your model implemented with Embedded MATLAB®, e.g. MATLAB Function blocks and the MATLAB action language in Stateflow.

Reactis for C Plugin integrates seamlessly with Reactis to offer white-box analysis of the C code portions of models (C Caller blocks, S-Functions and Stateflow custom code). More on C Caller block, S-Function, and custom code debug.

Testing C Code in Simulink Models Using the Reactis for C Plugin (8 min video)

Reactis and the C Plugin also support testing TargetLink® models and C code.

Reactis Model Inspector offers a low-cost, lightweight Simulink viewer.

If you are develping safety-critical automotive software, Reactis can help with ISO 26262.

Reactis also supports Automotive SPICE.

C Code

Reactis for C generates comprehensive yet compact tests from C code, detects runtime errors, and tracks coverage (Statement, Decision, Condition, MC/DC, MCC). When an error is detected, you can easily replay a concrete execution sequence leading to the problem in order to understand, diagnose, and fix the bug. More on testing C code.

Back-to-Back Testing of Code Against Simulink Model

1. Generate tests from Simulink model
2. Run tests on C code
3. Differences are automatically detected, flagged, and recorded in reports.
