It includes three steps that include detection, localization and estimation.
Simulation is a popular method for diagnosing faults. It lets you test the possible response to tests in the presence of different faults. These results are then stored in databases. Then, after a test is conducted, the actual results of the experiment are compared with these expected ones. If the actual results are same as the expected results and the fault is discovered. The process of identifying errors is usually iterative and referred to as a diagnosis tree.
