We leveraged the TestResult array returned from the test run in order to exit MATLAB with a non-zero exit status code to communicate to Jenkins when needed that the build should fail.... read more >>

Hi there. I am super excited to introduce our new Developer Zone blog! I work in a group at MathWorks that is responsible for building the infrastructure and architecture that we require as a company to deliver software that is of high quality, on schedule, and meets customer requirements. In short, we develop the build, test, and integration tools needed to produce production grade software on multiple platforms and using many different technologies. My specific team is focused on test infrastructure and are the primary developers of MATLAB's unit test framework.... read more >>
