3 Reasons to Consider Using a Floating-Point Model to Generate Fixed-Point Code

Fixed-point code is still used in many production project
In Model-based Development, the data types on model level can be independent from the data types on code level
This article describes 3 reasons to use a floating-point model to generate fixed-point code

Modular Model-based Software Architecture for Efficient Unit and Integration Test

Model-based software development is a de facto standard in the automotive
It’s often unclear how to define a unit-under-test for complex and large software
Adopting a component-based architecture in Simulink helps to break down the test complexity

Should I test the Model or the Code?

In model-based software development, tests can run on model or code level
But at which level should we focus our testing effort?
Combining both leads to an efficient and ISO 26262 compliant testing process
