Abstract
Continuous Function Charts are a diagrammatical language for the specification of mixed discretecontinuous embedded systems, similar to the languages of Matlab/Simulink, and often used in the domain of transportation systems. Both control and data flows are explicitly specified when atomic units of computation are composed. The obvious way to assess the quality of integration test suites is to compute known coverage metrics for the generated code. This production code does not exhibit those structures that would make it amenable to "relevant" coverage measurements. We define a translation scheme that results in structures relevant for such measurements, apply coverage criteria for both control and data flows at the level of composition of atomic computational units, and argue for their usefulness on the grounds of detected errors.
