Inferred state-based approaches

Inferred state-based approaches are methods used to understand what a system is doing by analyzing data or behaviors, especially when direct observation of its internal state isn’t possible. Instead of seeing inside the system, these approaches predict its current state based on available information, like past actions or outputs. This technique is common in areas like fault detection, security, or software testing, where it helps identify issues, hidden processes, or confirm correct operation by inferring the system’s condition over time, ensuring better management and troubleshooting.
