Diagnosis ({{plural form}}: diagnoses) is the identification of the nature and cause of a certain phenomenon. Diagnosis is used in a lot of different disciplines, with variations in the use of logic, analytics, and experience, to determine "cause and effect". In systems engineering and computer science, it is typically used to determine the causes of symptoms, mitigations, and solutions.{{cite web|url=http://gregstanleyandassociates.com/whitepapers/FaultDiagnosis/faultdiagnosis.htm|title=A Guide to Fault Detection and Diagnosis|publisher=gregstanleyandassociates.com}}
