MATLAB: Custom naming convention – enforcement (na_0035: Adoption of naming conventions) using simulink check

Question

We are exploring simulink capabilities for ISO compliant development. One of the requirements we have is to enforce the naming conventions (MAAB- na_0035: Adoption of naming conventions). Is there a way we can add this as custom checks?

Answer 1

na_0035: Adoption of naming conventions is not a checkable guideline. This is more of a general best practice to state that you should have naming conventions, but the guideline doesn’t specify what the naming conventions should be.

For ISO 26262 applications, I would recommend the naming guidelines from the High Integrity System modeling guidelines.

• hisl_0031: Model file names

• hisl_0032: Model object names

These guidelines are checkable and reference ISO 26262-6 Table 1 (1h) ‘Use of naming conventions’. The Model Advisor checks for these guideline do have input parameters to allow users to customize them.
