Diagnostic Inference Model error sources

Abstract

Application of tools such as WSTA, DARTS, STAT and STAMP is now widely accepted as a viable approach to determining the testability of systems and developing rigorous and efficient test strategies. These tools an have one thing in common-the dependency model, more recently known as the diagnostic inference model. The author discusses error sources that can corrupt a dependency model and introduce significant error into the testability predictions and diagnostic sequence recommendations provided by inference model based tools.<>
