In an embodiment, a technique for analyzing a model, either statically or dynamically, to check the model for one or more specified patterns with respect to accessing a data store associated with the model. The patterns may include, for example, writing to a data store prior to reading the data store, reading the data store prior to writing the data store, writing to the data store multiple times prior to reading the data store, reading the data store multiple times before writing the data store, etc. The model may be an executable graphical model that is generated in a graphical modeling environment. A result may be generated based on the analyzing. The result may be output.
