This is the final part in my series on <\/span>MATLAB Test<\/span><\/a> where we\u2019ll look at how to select tests based on files they depend on. Previously, I have covered:<\/span><\/div>
  1. An introduction to MATLAB Test and the Test Manager<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/li>
  2. The use of advanced coverage metrics<\/span><\/a><\/li>
  3. Measuring and monitoring code quality<\/span><\/a><\/li>
  4. Equivalence testing<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
    In large and complex projects, running the entire test suite every time something changes can be prohibitively expensive in time and\/or compute resource. In these instances, just running the tests that are affected by the changes may be preferable. MATLAB Test provides mechanisms for easily doing this:<\/span><\/div>
