1. A method for the automated evaluation of a test log for testing telecommunications equipment, the method comprising: providing a probabilistic model, which links a plurality of possible events in the test log with a plurality of possible causes; searching the test log for the occurrence of at least one of the possible events; calculating probability values for the plurality of possible causes with the probabilistic model and a search result; and providing an indication of at least one possible cause for the at least one of the possible events in the test log based on the calculated probability values, wherein consideration of at least one event and/or consideration of at least one cause are specified or selected from a menu.
