Abstract
A method for detecting and reporting changes in functional features of a simulation model caused by a software revision is disclosed. In one aspect, the method is independent of simulation model architecture. One performs regression testing with a plurality of feature-specific modules. The feature-specific modules are configured to generate a first set of information with the simulation model and compare the first set of information to a second set of corresponding information from the simulation model. In the above-described testing, the first set of information postdates the software revision and the second set of information predates the software revision.
