Results-Driven Decisions, Faster: Accelerated Stress Testing as a Reliability Life Test
We want to ensure our designs perform reliably, as expected and intended. With today’s high-reliability products and quick release to market, we probably don’t have enough time to just test our parts at normal use rates. It would take too long, because our products ARE so reliable. Or, we’ll miss our window of opportunity to get our product to market.
There are several ways to get reliability data to make design decisions. One of the ways is reliability life testing of our product.
This episode explores how accelerated stress testing is one subset of other reliability life testing methods, when it’s a good idea, how we can approach doing it, and what we can do with the results.
