From
the Editor's Desk In response to your feedback, we continue to increase the quantity and quality of reliability information in this publication that you can put into practice in your real-world applications. This issue of Reliability Edge includes four more pages than the previous edition and it is twice the size of the premier issue in the Fall of 2000! This edition contains comprehensive articles that blend theory and practice and cover topics ranging from the determination of reliability specifications and test design to an accelerated life data analysis model capable of analyzing up to eight stress types (or other reliability variables). We present a discussion of degradation analysis techniques and also introduce a new series that presents some classic case studies in reliability analysis and takes an updated look at these landmark experiments and papers. In this issue, we also introduce the release of ReliaSoft's ALTA 6 and ALTA 6 PRO software. In addition to some introductory material on the product features, the articles on the general log-linear model and degradation analysis demonstrate some of the capabilities of this powerful new application.
