As an extension of functional testing, TASMO can be employed to generate supplementary test cases automatically. This powerful feature of TPT lets you increase your code coverage beyond the level reached with manually created test cases.
You can create test cases from various test environments such as MATLAB/ Simulink, dSpace TargetLink, or from C/C++ code.
For Simulink and TargetLink models TASMO can even detect unreachable paths in your model.
Once the manual creation of functional tests is done and you have executed all your test cases, it is time to run TASMO.
Test cases can be generated automatically based on specific input signals respective to value ranges and signal characteristics (e.g. sinusoidal signals).
In particular, you can run certain operations with TASMO, such as:
Especially in safety critical systems (ISO 26262) one would not want to have dead code that is not reachable. Such dead software paths can never be executed and should be avoided. TPT and TASMO can help to identify such paths in your software.
As an example, take the Simulink model below. As you can see the saturation-max is set to 100 and the threshold of Switch1 is set to >100. Consequently, no signals above 100 are let through to the switch.
As you can see TPT identifies that the path is unreachable and tells you exactly where you have to look.
It should be mentioned that functional testing should by no means be neglected, just because you have TASMO. TASMO¡¯s competencies lie in identifying what you might have missed. If your test-exit criterion is a particular level of coverage, for example, TASMO is of incredible help.
