Constraint-Driven Fault Diagnosis (CDD) is based on the concept of constraint suspension [6], which was proposed as an approach to fault detection and diagnosis. In this chapter, its capabilities are demonstrated by describing how it might be applied to hardware systems. With this idea, a model-based fault diagnosis problem may be considered as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) in order to detect any unexpected behavior and Constraint Satisfaction Optimization Problem (COP) constraint optimization problem in order to identify the reason for any unexpected behavior because the parsimony principle is taken into accountMinisterio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2015-63502-C3-2-
