1. A method of testing, the method comprising:
obtaining, at a device, a first test matrix for a first aircraft system and a second test matrix for a second aircraft system;
during a first operational test of the first test matrix, obtaining sensor data that comprises first sensor data in a range specified by the first test matrix and second sensor data that is not specified by the first test matrix;
evaluating, at the device, a second operational test of the second test matrix by processing the second sensor data using a second analytic model of the second aircraft system;
determining, based at least in part on a range of the second sensor data, a test coverage metric of the second test matrix; and
providing an output to a display device, the output indicating the test coverage metric.
