A test apparatus for testing a trained classifier (e.g., neural network, random forest algorithm, naïve Bayes classifier, support vector machine, linear regression machine learning algorithm, etc) that is configured to control at least part of an aircraft system is programmed to evaluate the performance of the trained classifier. Scenario data 112, comprising operating inputs 114 representing an operational state of an aircraft and classifier outputs 116 for controlling the air craft system, is obtained. Model data 118 representing model 120 of the at aircraft system is obtained. Error categorisation data 302 for each aircraft operating scenario is generated 206 based on respective classifier outputs applied to the model. The error categorisation data may be generated by evaluating how the model would operate when controlled using the respective classifier outputs. The model may be a graph model comprising a set of nodes connected by corresponding directed edges, each node representing a function of a component in the at least part of an aircraft system.
