Select the Right Accelerated Life Test Approach
There are many reasons to use accelerated testing and just as many ways to conduct the testing.
Matching and balancing cost, risk, and results takes some skill.
Let’s talk about the key elements to consider so you select the best approach for your test.
There are times when we have to evaluate the reliability performance of a system or component.
Accelerated testing is a useful tool, or rather set of tools, that allow us to cheat time. Accelerated testing ranges from simple time compression methods to complex modeling building techniques to degradation tracking.
Each approach has benefits and issues.
Let’s explore the range of possibilities and how you can select the right approach for each test.
Getting meaningful results is important, as is minimizing testing costs, and getting results on time.
Considering your constraints and objectives is one way to match the approach to your situation to create the right test plan.
More a discussion than a lecture, this free webinar is our chance to talk about accelerated testing.
This Accendo Reliability webinar originally broadcast on 9 December 2014.
