A system for testing brake systems of motor vehicles at assembly lines of automobile manufacturers, wherein the brake pedal is operated using an automatically controlled device and wherein the pedal travel and pedal force are measured using associated instruments is disclosed. A travel-force curve is determined based on pedal travel and pedal force during pedal movement, which is analyzed using a physical brake system model. The brake system model isolates design influences of the individual components. Furthermore, the travel difference between different benchmarks of various vehicles is taken into consideration when calculating the pedal travel to compensate the variable influence of the running clearance on pedal travel.
