Abstract

A computer-implemented method for designing a built-in test is described. The method includes receiving, via a processor, a subsystem model including system parameters for a heat exchanger, wherein each of the system parameters includes a sensor variance; determining, via the processor, a test design vector based on one or more of the system parameters; and designing, via the processor, the built-in test based on the test design vector.
