Abstract
Search-based software testing (SBST) is widely used to verify software systems. SBST iteratively generates new test inputs driven by fitness functions, i.e., objective functions that guide the test case generation. In previous work, we proposed ATheNA, a novel SBST framework that combines fitness functions automatically generated from requirements' specifications with those manually defined by engineers, and showed its effectiveness. This tool demonstration paper describes ATheNA-S, an instance of ATheNA that targets Simulink models. We demonstrate our tool using an automotive case study and present our implementation and design decisions. A video walkthrough of the case study is available on YouTube: youtu.be/dhw9rwO7L4k.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
