There are basically no free parameters, which could be set by the user and the properties of the potential and its parameters are well known and have been extensively tested by the authors \cite{albe_sic_pot}.
Therefore, test calculations are restricted to the time step used in the Verlet algorithm to integrate the equations of motion.
Nevertheless, a further and rather uncommon test is carried out to roughly estimate the capabilities of the EA potential regarding the description of 3C-SiC precipitation in c-Si.
