Key Points:
- b'SmartBear , a leading provider of software development and quality tools, has extended its peer code and document review capabilities to support the efficient review of Simulink \xc2\xae models.
- With the new module, Collaborator now allows the easiest review of Simulink, the simulation and model-based design tool, inside the company\xe2\x80\x99s leading peer code and document review tool for optimum workflow and ensuring software quality.\n\xe2\x80\x9cSimulink models can be complex with multiple layers, and until now, many users did not have an easy way to effectively peer review and document their findings,\xe2\x80\x9d said Brian Downey, Senior Vice President of Product at SmartBear.
- \xe2\x80\x9cThis is a natural progression for Collaborator, extending beyond traditional code and document review, to unify and support other engineering disciplines and artifacts in a single, enhanced peer review tool.\xe2\x80\x9d\nToday, engineers use built-in tools to review Simulink models but do not have a comprehensive review workflow and process beyond capturing feedback in a spreadsheet or document.
- Collaborator\xe2\x80\x99s new Simulink review support provides a robust peer review workflow that can be conducted online or in-person, helping to ensure defects are found, tracked, and addressed before being shipped further downstream.\n\xe2\x80\x9cFor years now, we have been evaluating tools to support collaborative peer review of MATLAB Simulink files without much luck,\xe2\x80\x9d said Michael Coury, Senior Engineering Manager, Software Development at Xalt Energy.
