Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: creating a system model within a technical computing environment operating on an electronic device having a processor, the system model models characteristics of a real-world system, the system model including a plurality of sub-portions that each correspond to a component of the real-world system; applying a plurality of test vectors to the system model; measuring coverage achieved by the test vectors on the sub-portions of the system model; matching a suspected failed component of the real-world system to a particular sub-portion of the system model; selecting a test vector of the plurality of test vectors to be applied to the real-world system to test the suspected failed component in response to the measured coverage achieved on the particular sub-portion of the system model; and applying the selected test vector to the real-world system, wherein the real-world system is a deployed system that is deployed outside of the technical computing environment within which the system model was created.
