Verification, Validation (V and V) and Test in Model-Based Design

Continuous test and verification is a cornerstone of Model-Based Design [http://www.mathworks.com/applications/controldesign/description/mbd.html]. Early verification and validation, also known as V and V, enables you to find errors early in the development process, when they are less costly to fix. One way that Model-Based Design achieves this efficiency is through simulation and testing.
