A method for diagnosing a degree of interference between a plurality of
faults in a system under test, the faults being detected by means of
applying a test suite to the system under test, includes: 1) for each of
the plurality of faults, and for each of a plurality of test syndromes,
where a test syndrome is a pattern of passing and failing tests of the
test suite, determining relative frequencies at which particular ones of
the faults are coupled with particular ones of the syndromes; and 2)
using the relative frequencies at which particular ones of the faults are
coupled with particular ones of the syndromes to calculate and display to
a user, via a graphical user interface, and for the test suite as a
whole, test suite degrees of interference between pairs of the faults.
Other embodiments are also disclosed.
