Abstract :
The term integrated diagnostics is usually associated with built-in test (BIT). It is argued that from the TAC maintainer´s view, integrating diagnostics is the total effort, beginning with fault reporting, troubleshooting, repair, and ending with modification to correct the physical cause of failure. It is pointed out that in order to understand where the user wants to go with diagnostic integration, it must be understood what the present situation is, what impact the integration will have, and what can be done to achieve the desired results
