"Reliability Part 8 -
Testing"
(91kb pdf file; viewer at page
bottom)
by Hank Posters
Reliability tests are performed to ensure new designs, products, and systems
meet performance requirements including quality, reliability, safety, and if
applicable, regulatory requirements. Extensive testing reduces a business’
exposure to financial and operational risks. In general the amount of
testing required is proportional to the amount of uncertainty and
variability in the design and manufacturing of a product. More uncertainty
in the design and/or higher variability in manufacturing processes,
components, and materials necessitate more testing. |
