subsystem designs. Test input may be provided internally, modularly, and/or from
external scripts/application resources. Simulation allows developers to test designs
quickly for completeness and correctness, and many tools also offer autogenerated
test reports such as for code coverage and reachability of generated code.

Computer-aided simulation offers a means of interpretive modeling of real sys-
tems. Sophisticated software applications allow increasingly larger phases of design
and development to remain in a unified development environment. Such an envi-
ronment may include single-or multiple-tool custom tool chains where the software
applications required are correlated to the choice of hardware (microcontrollers,
communication networks, etc.). For example, a configuration of software tools to
support the Motorola MPC555 (Schaumburg, IL) can be implemented with a particu-
lar MATLAB configuration. Support to develop a system using a Fujitsu (Melborne,
Australia) microcontroller could include MATLAB but additionally may require
dSPACE Targetlink and the Green Hills MULTIintegration development environment
