Abstract: A method for testing a technical system. Tests are carried out with the aid of a simulation of the system. The tests are evaluated with respect to a fulfillment measure of a quantitative requirement on the system and different error measures of the simulation. On the basis of the fulfillment measure and each of the error measures, a classification of the tests is carried out as either reliable or unreliable case by case. A selection among the error measures is made on the basis of a number of the tests classified as reliable.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing data associated with a simulation model, the simulation model being designed to simulate at least one aspect of a technical system. The method includes: ascertaining a first parameter group of parameters of the simulation model, whose sensitivity exceeds a predefinable sensitivity limiting value, ascertaining a substitute model for the simulation model based on the first parameter group, assessing a quality of the substitute model, a quality measure characterizing the quality of the substitute model being obtained.
