diagnostics
Fault detection procedures
Diagnostics is the process or practice of identifying problems—in medicine, machinery, or software.
A doctor runs diagnostics to determine what's wrong with a patient; a mechanic runs diagnostics on a car's computer system.
The term often refers to the tools or tests themselves: The diagnostics showed a failing hard drive.
In computing, diagnostics may also mean the data or error messages a system generates to help troubleshoot issues.
