Abstract
The paper tackles the problem of performing mutual testing in complex systems. It is assumed that units of complex systems can execute tests on each other. Tests among system units are part of system diagnosis that can be carried out both before and during system operation. The paper considers the case when tests are executed during system operation. Modelling and simulating mutual tests will allow evaluation of the efficiency of using joint testing in the system. In the paper, the models that use Petri Nets were considered. These models were used for simulating the execution of tests among system units. Two methods for performing such simulations were evaluated and compared. Recommendations for choosing a more appropriate way were made. Simulation results have revealed minor model deficiencies and possible implementation of mutual testing in complex systems. Improvement of the model was suggested and assessed. A recommendation for increasing the efficiency of system diagnosis based on joint testing was made.
