Abstract
Eight classes of problems in the field of system-level diagnosis methods are defined on the basis of required diagnostic resolution, type of invalidation and number of test steps. Using the bounds on system complexity, the duration of one-step and sequential diagnostic procedures is evaluated and compared under different assumptions. This comparison shows that despite the generally accepted opinion, the sequential diagnostics may be sometimes shorter than diagnostics performed in one step.
