Debugging and Analysis
Diagnose problems, check syntax and release compatibility
As you work in the Editor and Live Editor, MATLAB® automatically identifies potential coding problems. Debugging features help you diagnose specific issues. Additionally, you can generate reports that help you update your code when you upgrade to a newer MATLAB release.
Tools
Code Analyzer | Identify and address code issues (Since R2022b) |
Code Compatibility Analyzer | Identify and address compatibility issues against current version of MATLAB (Since R2022a) |
Functions
Topics
