Abstract
A computer-implemented method of testing a target system using a stimulus-response test. The method includes obtaining the responses of the target system at predefined monitoring times. Each time the response changes state, a clock is reset, and the elapsed duration is kept from the latest response state change. If the elapsed duration from the last response state change exceeds an expected duration before the next state change, a possible fault is deemed to exist.
