ABSTRACT:
A diagnostic system and method are provided that include an interface for receiving input relating to observed symptoms indicative of one or more failed components, a processing element for correlating the input relating to the observed symptoms with at least one suspect component that is capable of causing the observed symptoms upon failure, and a display for presenting information relating to the suspect components. The processing element correlates the input relating to the observed symptoms with the suspect components in accordance with a diagnostic model constructed based upon systemic information, experiential information and factual information. The processing element generally presents the suspect components in a listing prioritized based upon the relative likelihood that the respective suspect components caused the observed symptoms. Additionally, the processing element can present a prioritized listing of tests that can be conducted to refine the identification and prioritization of the suspect components.
