matlab_unit_test(component,parameters,test_cases)

function [results] = matlab_unit_test(component,parameters,test_cases)

% matlab_unit_test - a hook to allow matlab functions to be integrated into the unit test framework.  The function will intantiate the component, hook it up to the relevant inputs and outputs, run the simulation and save the results.
%
% Inputs:
%    component - the component to be tested
%    parameters - parameters used to set up the component
%    test_cases - structure containing details of the unit test cases
%
% Outputs:
%    results - structure containing the result of the testing.
%
% Example:
%    [results] = matlab_unit_test(component,function_created_sub_system,parameters,test_cases)
%
% Other m-files required: none
%
