Does Matlab coder self checking Matlab output vs. C code output when generating code?

When using Matlab coder for C code generation, sometimes we might not get 100% line execution from the entry point test code. i.e. ( picture taken from https://www.mathworks.com/help/coder/ug/collect-and-view-line-execution-counts-for-your-matlab-code.html )

There is one question regarding to generated code with Matlab Coder, if the line execution count does not hit 100%, is it a must to modify test code to achieve 100% execution?

And during generation is it the coder doing self checking Matlab output vs. the C code output automatically? Or is it just replacing the function call with C code and see if output matches?

Line execution count just gives you the code coverage data from the test. It is not necessary to achieve 100% execution in order for you to get a C/C++ code.

Coder will not automatically check if the outputs are equal in MATLAB and C, but you can do it using below approach :
