This post is the fifth in a series of 8 video blogs, walking through the fundamentals of Model-Based Design. When taken as a whole, these videos, provides the foundation stones for understanding and implementing Model-Based Design workflows. I will be using a simple Home A/C system for my example; however the principals apply to everything from Alpine ski sharpeners to Zamboni de-icing.⁽¹⁾

Today we will look at three V&V activities: guideline compliance, coverage and requirements based tests.

1. Requirements
   1. Requirements Management
   2. Writing clear requirements
   3. What I’m expecting: writing requirements
2. System Architecture
   1. Modeling architecture: Fundamentals
   2. Model architecture decomposition for hardware and close loop testing
   3. Is your system architecture “Lego Legal”?
3. Initial (shell) models
