Claim One:
1. A method for measuring the performance of a diagnoser of a system under diagnosis, which comprises a knowledge base comprising a set of failures of the system, of effects observed on the system caused by these failures, and of relations between failures and effects observed, and an algorithmic core linked to the said knowledge base, said method comprising: calculating a specific detection rate and a specific location rate for the knowledge base alone, respectively referred to as expected detection rate and expected location rate, with the help of messages actually transmitted to the diagnoser and predetermined, carrying information about the observed effects, calculating a specific detection rate and a specific location rate for the set consisting of knowledge base and algorithmic core, respectively referred to as detection rate obtained and location rate obtained, calculating the performance of the diagnoser as a function of the expected and obtained detection rates and of the expected and obtained location rates, these calculation steps being carried out by a device for measuring the performance of the diagnoser, linked to a copy of the knowledge base.
