AST Handbook

The Fundamentals of Accelerated Stress Testing Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and principles that make up accelerated stress testing (AST) techniques. The handbook covers an introduction of the AST concept, how AST compares to Accelerated Life Testing, technologies used for AST and also the issues involved in properly implementing Accelerated Stress Testing. After reading the handbook you will:

• Understand the differences between environmental simulation and stimulation.
• Obtain primers on where and how to implement AST.
• Review all of the types of environmental stresses that can be used in AST and what potential failure mechanisms they can precipitate.
• Gain helpful information that will put HALT and Step Stress testing methods into perspective.
This useful information will put the proper perspective on Accelerated Stress Testing procedures and help you determine how they can be used to improve the reliability of your products and processes.
