ALTA: Accelerated Life Testing Data Analysis Software Tool
Accelerated life tests... quantifiable resultsTM
ReliaSoft's
ALTA software is still the only commercially available software tool
designed expressly for
quantitative
accelerated life testing data analysis using rigorous scientific
analysis methods.
Quantitative accelerated life testing techniques in conjunction with powerful QALT data analysis methodologies give design and reliability engineers the power to significantly reduce test times, which can provide faster time to market, lower product development costs, lower warranty costs and other benefits!
Software Features
ALTA provides a comprehensive toolset for accelerated test planning and quantitative accelerated life testing data analysis, plots and reporting. The software tool is available in two versions:
ALTA Standard provides the life-stress relationship models required to analyze accelerated life test data with 1 or 2 constant stresses.
ALTA PRO offers advanced capabilities for analyzing accelerated life test data with up to 8 simultaneous stress types where stress is constant or varies with time!
Both versions provide a complete array of utilities for designing accelerated life tests, evaluating the fit of the model, calculating reliability metrics, generating plots and performing related statistical analyses.
