Are you in
a situation where:
-
You're
not governed by test specifications, but need to
investigate some aspect of your design related
to stress testing, or
-
You are
eventually going to have to meet a test
specification, but don't want to dedicate all of
the time and money to formally test an early
iteration of your design when only a subset of
the information that will be generated is of
interest, or
-
You need
to understand how much design margin you have
with regard to a particular parameter.
These are
but a few of the many reasons why custom product
stress testing might be a good fit for your
situation. The intent of this series is to
provide an introduction to the variables
associated with some of the more commonly used
stress testing options. Having an understanding
of these terms and concepts will aid you in your
discussions with customers, suppliers, and test
providers. It also forms a basis to optimize your
testing to reduce costs and cycle times, yet still
get the critical information you need. |
