Simulating statecharts in itemis CREATE provides an interactive way to test and visualize the behavior of your models directly in the web interface. To start a simulation, simply click the Start Simulation button, located within the statechart editor. Once you initiate the simulation, a popup window will open, giving you full control over the simulation process.
In the popup, you can raise events that trigger state transitions and explore how your statechart responds to different inputs. You can also inspect the values of variables in real-time, allowing you to monitor the current state of your system and ensure everything behaves as expected. Additionally, you can set event payloads to customize the data passed with events, giving you the flexibility to test various scenarios and edge cases.
