Analyze performance of systems or equipment

Work activity · O*NET

Analyze performance of systems or equipment is an intermediate work activity in the O*NET database — a concrete task that recurs across many occupations , grouped under Analyzing Data or Information. 33 occupations report doing it as part of their work.

What it involves

The most common detailed activities O*NET records under this category, ranked by how many occupation tasks map to each.

  • Analyze security of systems, network, or data
  • Conduct quantitative failure analyses of operational data
  • Analyze test or performance data to assess equipment operation
  • Analyze test or validation data
  • Interpret design or operational test results

How AI is applied to this activity

Microsoft's "Working with AI" study mapped real Bing Copilot conversations to O*NET work activities. The figures below are their measurements for this activity — they describe how AI is used today in one assistant's data, not a forecast that the activity will be automated.

AI completes it successfully 91.9% When Copilot attempts this activity, how often it finishes the task
Scope AI handles 26.3% How much of the activity AI carries within a conversation
Positive user feedback 67.7% Share of interactions users rated positively
How often AI is applied here 73rd pct Percentile across all measured activities by how often AI performs them

Source: Microsoft "Working with AI" (working-with-ai). A high completion rate means AI can assist the activity in isolation — it does not mean an occupation that performs it is being automated, since every job blends many activities.
