Systems and methods for testing a hands-off detection algorithm. The method includes determining a plurality of system behavior test conditions for the algorithm and selecting an orthogonal array defining a plurality of test cases based on the plurality of system behavior test conditions. The method includes generating, for each of the test cases, an expected test outcome. The method includes for each of the test cases, conducting a test of with the vehicle based on the orthogonal array to generate a plurality of actual test outcomes and generating a response table based on the test outcomes, including a plurality of system behavior test condition interactions. The method includes determining, for each of the interactions, a result rating based on the expected test outcomes and the actual test outcomes and identifying, within the response table, which one or more of the test conditions exhibits a high failure condition.
