description A method for improving fault isolation for failure modes in complex systems, and a software program embodying the method or a corresponding method together with a computer based aircraft diagnostic system using such software is described. The method includes: capturing a set of symptoms that is consistent with a failure mode of the complex system; identifying a set of repairs for the complex system that are consistent with the set of symptoms; ranking, when the set of repairs includes more than one repair, the repairs in a sequence that will minimize an average cost to repair the complex system, the sequence including a historical component and reflecting the effectiveness of available test results to resolve each the repairs; determining possible tests that are consistent with the failure mode; and ranking the possible tests according to there respective net improvement in the average cost to repair the complex system.
