Abstract

Reliability prediction of new components, products, and systems is a difficult task due to the lack of well-designed test plans that yield “useful” information during the test and due to the stochastic nature of the normal operating conditions. The accuracy of the reliability prediction has a major effect on the warranty cost and repair and maintenance strategies. Therefore, it is important to design efficient test plans. In this chapter, we present an overview of reliability testing with emphasis on accelerated testing and address issues associated with the design of optimal test plans, stress application methods, and reliability prediction models. We further discuss the concept of equivalence of test plans and how it could be used for test time reduction. Finally, we present accelerated degradation modeling and the design of accelerated degradation test plans.
