SysML v2 CI validation

When SysML v2 models are stored as text, they can be checked like source code. CI validation catches model issues in pull requests and release pipelines instead of waiting for manual review or late integration work.

What to validate

  • Parsing and syntax errors in .sysml and .kerml files.
  • Workspace and standard-library setup problems.
  • Semantic diagnostics that should block broken model changes.
  • Reports that can be consumed by CI systems and code review tools.

Spec42 in automation

Spec42 includes CLI workflows such as spec42 doctor, spec42 check, and spec42 diagrams export. The same model-analysis core used in the editor can produce deterministic text, JSON, SARIF, and JUnit-style reports for CI pipelines.

A practical adoption pattern

  1. Start with parse and workspace diagnostics on a bounded model scope.
  2. Add CI reporting to pull requests so model changes are reviewed with feedback.
  3. Export diagrams or reports when they help reviewers inspect structure.
  4. Expand conventions only when the team has agreed on what should be enforced.
