Course Introduction0:49
Learn testing with TPT by configuring Simulink model, executing test cases in TDD with step list and Automaton methods, and using imports to link tests and signal viewer for reports.
GUI walk through2:35

Test Case Modeling Overview2:23
Common Test Case Building Blocks (Steps Types)18:55
Channel
Wait
Compare
Step List Test Case4:32
Automatons Test Case12:12
Create an automaton time partition test case using graphical editor, define initial and final states, testlets, and transitions, and learn to template test cases, reference variants, and handle multi-input actions.
Test Cases Management10:29
Organize in folders
Filter and search
Test Sets
Test Case Status

Test Assessment - Introduction and concepts3:06
Philosophy
The test assessment follows the test execution and they are independent.
Both processes are strictly separated and completely independent of each other.
A test case is designed and executed and all specified data is recorded. Then, the recorded data is assessed according to the check rules specified in the assesslets
Assessment types:
using Compare steps in test modeling step lists
GUI assesslets
script-based evaluation
Test Invariance
The evaluation of the test by means of a GUI or Script assesslet can either be done individually or as an invariant test, independently of the individual test case.
Assesment Types: Compare step3:10
Assessment Types: GUI - Condition Tree12:08
Explore the condition tree in the GI assessment type, building nested check rules, bound checks, signal comparisons, and a new signal rule to define complex test conditions.
Assessment Types: GUI - Min/Max Comparison6:34
Assessment Types: GUI - Timeout4:00
Discover how the timeout assistant provides a sanity check by flagging test cases that reach the timeout, fail, or stay inconclusive, using weight steps and duration insights.
Assessment Types: GUI - Trigger Rule27:18
Assesment Types: Scripts8:32
Assesslets Management10:48
Assesslets Activation/De-activation
Common Assesslet Settings

Execution Configuration4:13
Explore execution configuration to set platform, test set, and report format, including HTML embedded resources or HTML with PDF, and manage test cases, test sets, and report and data directories.
Build Progress9:47
Automatons Revisited (Transitions)15:14
Explore automata transitions in model based testing with TPT, refining transition conditions, test inputs, and timing to achieve precise true-true versus true-false behaviors and controlled test durations.
Report12:54
Signal viewer9:15
Navigate the signal viewer in model based testing with tpt, opening test cases, dragging signals to axes, and analyzing section activations and checks across cases.

Requirements

Basic Knowledge of Simulink and Stateflow

Description

Testing is very important activity during software development process.

This course is a basic overview of the testing work flow in TPT. The impact of this course will be increased by as much hands on practice you will have. This course also assumes little prior knowledge about Simulink Models. So enjoy the course and we hope to teach you as much as we can. This will give you the basis of knowledge to begin the journey on the road to becoming proficient in testing using TPT. Stay tuned for later more advanced courses that will be available on Udemy. Again thank you for choosing to learn with us and we hope to provide you with the best classes and knowledge that we know how to do.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll gain from our course:

Platform Configuration
will configure Simulink platform in TPT
Test Case Design
- Step List
- Automatons
  how to create a test case using step list or automatons methods.
Test Case Generation
1. Generate from values
2. Generate from variants
Test Case Management
