This letter presents an algorithm for fault diagnosis basedon the approach. It can conclude that the factors, which cause errors, must be in a very smallrange through analyzing the test cases after testing, and retesting with some complementary testcases. The algorithm can provide a very efficient and valuable guidance for the debugging andtesting of software.展开更多
