AbstractWe study the relationship between multiple fault diagnosability and fault detection count. Instead of developing a complex diagnostic algorithm for multiple fault behavior, we change the test sets used in test and diagnosis. This allows us to apply a simple single-fault based diagnostic algorithm, and yet achieve very good diagnosability for the failure test cases caused by multiple faults. We have verified experimentally the effectiveness of n-detection tests for multiple-fault cases and explained the results in probabilistic terms.
