Abstract :
In an increasingly competitive marketplace system complexity continues to grow, but time-to-market and lifecycle are reducing. This has driven the need for automated test and diagnostic tools. As test and diagnosis is a high-level human activity, AI-based solutions have been pursued. This has been an active research area for some decades, but the industrial acceptance of AI approaches, particularly in cost-sensitive areas, has not been high. This paper reviews the history and current state of AI in test and diagnosis, discusses future challenges, and introduces the authors´ work in addressing some of these challenges in a diagnostic context
