About Test Vectors and the MATLAB Workspace

The SystemTest software has its own internal workspace that it uses to manage test variables and test vectors independently. However it does leverage the MATLAB workspace during test execution, and when using a MATLAB element.

During test execution, SystemTest test variables and test vectors are evaluated in the MATLAB base workspace. Then at the end of test execution, they are cleared out and the MATLAB base workspace is restored to what it was before the test execution.

When using a MATLAB element in the SystemTest software, you can reference a variable in the base workspace without having to create a test vector or test variable in the SystemTest software. However the SystemTest software will not be aware of this data, so you could not make use of it in any other element type or in saved results. You can only access it from a MATLAB element. If you need to use it in other elements, you can create test variables or test vectors in the SystemTest software.
