            Abstract : 
The problem of how a user incapable of performing tests can diagnose a system, given the results of the Kuhl and Reddy algorithm, (1980 [3 paper], 1981), is addressed. In particular, the authors provide optimal or near-optimal algorithms for this purpose under a variety of assumptions
