Verification and Validation of the OpenSim Software Package

We are constantly testing the OpenSim software to verify that our algorithms are producing physically accurate results and that changes and updates don't change simulation results in unexpected ways. All of these tests must pass before a new version of OpenSim is released to the public. Below is a list of the tests we perform. You can examine each of these tests in the OpenSim source code, to be released via a zip file with OpenSim 3.0.
