I want to code up a (physical) model of an aircraft or car, and I want to create an automated integrated test to check that the code produces reasonable and realistic results. For example, I want to check that the path taken by the aircraft or car is physical and reasonable.
However, I don't have real, physical data of an aircraft or car to test my model against.
Is it possible to check the results from my code in an automated way without having real-life data to compare it against? If not, is the only viable alternative to test hundreds of permutations of the inputs to the code and manually check the output to see if the results are reasonable? If so, what is the best way to minimise time spent on checking the errors?
If it's not possible to check the model in an automated way then how to people/companies check that their physical models are as correct as possible? What methods do they use to ensure the greatest accuracy possible?
