Alternatives to a Long ALT
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Life testing a product or component, at times, involves months and months of testing. Even accelerated life testing can take a long time, given the limitation on our ability to cause the proper acceleration for meaningful results. So, what is one to do if waiting 3 months for test results is unacceptable?
Let's explore a few alternatives along with the pros and cons. We examine using our knowledge and the knowledge of others to streamline the testing or avoid it altogether. We also need to consider why we need to estimate life in the first place. Sometimes, estimating the life of something is not all that useful or valuable. This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 14 January 2025.

Three Approaches to Accelerated Life Testing
In my experience, ALT has three basic approaches: Test to pass, test to failure, and degradation testing. Each fits a specific situation.
Acceleration Factors with Examples
Acceleration factors translate one stress level to another, which is rather useful for accelerated life test interpretation.
