Is it possible to ignore certain lines in MATLAB coverage test?

If matlab version > a version

do something

else

do something else

end

I hope certain lines can be ignored based on current MATLAB version during coverage test. I'm looking for somthing similar to this post which is discussing test in Python:

Hey,

Looks like you can do Coverage Filtering for the Simulink models (Coverage Filtering - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com))

For MATLAB Code, I feel there isn't built in way to ignore certain lines based on MATLAB version during a coverage test. The MATLAB code coverage tools will execute and consider all lines of code that are run during the test. If certain lines of code are not executed due to a version check, those lines would not be included in the coverage report.

If you want to exclude certain lines of code from the coverage report, you might need to structure your tests or code in such a way that those lines are not executed during testing.

Hope it helps!

Yes I'm looking for coverage filtering in MATLAB code. But I can't find a way to do it. Thanks for your comment.

See the isMATLABReleaseOlderThan function. If you're using an older release, you could use verLessThan instead.

Hi, I just added a few more description in my post. I'm not looking for version comparison but looking for ignoring lines in coverage test.
