Simulink Design Verifier

Identify design errors, prove requirements compliance, and generate tests

Simulink® Design Verifier™ uses formal methods to identify hidden design errors in models. It detects blocks in the model that result in integer overflow, dead logic, array access violations, and division by zero. It can formally verify that the design meets functional requirements. For each design error or requirements violation, it generates a simulation test case for debugging.

Simulink Design Verifier generates test cases for model coverage and custom objectives to extend existing requirements-based test cases. These test cases drive your model to satisfy condition, decision, modified condition/decision (MCDC), and custom coverage objectives. In addition to coverage objectives, you can specify custom test objectives to automatically generate requirements-based test cases.

Support for industry standards is available through IEC Certification Kit (for IEC 61508 and ISO 26262) and DO Qualification Kit (for DO-178).

Flowchart illustrating a model-based design analysis process. The diagram is divided into three sections: Inputs, Analysis Modes, and Outputs. The Inputs section shows icons for "Model" and "Requirements." The Analysis Modes section displays icons for "Test Creation," "Design Error Detection," and "Property Proving." The Outputs section shows icons for "Report," "Test Harness," and "Test Manager." Each section is visually separated and labeled at the bottom.
