Technique for resolving "no-trouble-found"
A system that diagnoses a failure in a computer system is described. During operation, the system tests the computer system using a sequence of tests, where a given test includes a given load associated with a pre-determined failure mechanism for a given failure condition. During the given test, the...

| Summary: | A system that diagnoses a failure in a computer system is described. During operation, the system tests the computer system using a sequence of tests, where a given test includes a given load associated with a pre-determined failure mechanism for a given failure condition. During the given test, the system obtains results, which include telemetry signals that are monitored within the computer system. If the results indicate the given failure condition, the system ceases the testing and indicates that the computer system has the given failure condition. Otherwise, the system continues the sequence of tests until the sequence is completed, at which point, if no fault has been detected, the system indicates that a no-trouble-found (NTF) condition exists. |
