Accelerated Life Test Designs

Designing Experiments for Accelerated Life Tests

Use the Accelerated Life Test (ALT) Design platform to design plans for accelerated life testing experiments. Product reliability at normal use conditions is often so high that the time required to test the product until it fails is prohibitive. Rather than test the product at normal use conditions, you can test the product under conditions that are more severe than normal use conditions. These severe conditions can cause the product to degrade faster and fail more quickly. You can then use this accelerated failure data to predict product reliability at normal use conditions.You can design initial experiments or augment existing experiments.
