Check out the latest blog post from my colleague and friend, Ben Schumann, a simulation consultant with more than 15 years of experience and a Ph.D. in Complex Systems Simulation. Moreover, as you know, Ben is a significantly experienced AnyLogic user, who works with diverse clients such as the MoD, Rolls-Royce, GSK, and many others. He handles project delivery from start to end, managing team members and client communication.
Dr. Schumann's post asks a crucial question, "Are you testing your models?" If the answer is yes, he provides advice for better, more efficient testing, and if not, let Ben share some advice on how.
Go beyond traditional testing methods (i.e. visual, "traceIn" statements, analyze output data, apply dedicated unit testing) and create a structured, repeatable approach or dedicated function. What Ben calls "The Magic Ingredient."
Find out about "The Magic Ingredient" and other ways to create personalized unit testing through Ben Schumann's web page and Stack Overflow.
You can also browse through our new blog post, which is based on Ben's presentation from the AnyLogic Conference 2024. You'll be pleased to know it contains some tips to help solve issues in simulation projects, including ideas on testing your models.
