What is Accelerated Life Testing or ALT?
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Sounds simple right? We simply test faster! Great! But what does this get us? Many organizations are faced with a dilemma when it comes to testing to MEASURE reliability. If we test an amazing new product in at use' conditions, it might take many years before it will fail. This is time we simply don't have when it comes to product development. So, how do we test faster? One of the more obvious answers is to increase the stress. Turn the temperature up. Increase the vibration. Use more voltage. But how do we get this right? How can we know that (for example) one week of accelerated testing is equivalent to 10 years of actual use? This webinar will help introduce you to the idea of Accelerated Life Testing, or ALT, to help you and your organization make reliability testing a reality.
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 24 January 2023.

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.
