Accelerated Life Testing Analysis

Learn ALT models, analysis and test design using ReliaSoft ALTA

Course overview - 3 days

Accelerated Life Testing Analysis covers the benefits, limitations, processes and applications of several proven accelerated test methods. It explores advanced concepts and applications for quantitative accelerated life testing data analysis, including tests with multiple stresses or time-dependent stresses.

Software used

You will use ReliaSoft ALTA software with hands-on practice and case study analysis.
Learning objectives

  • Significantly reduce the test time required to obtain reliability metrics for a product, which can result in faster time-to-market,
    lower product development costs and improved designs
  • Understand and quantify the effects of stress (or other factors) on product life
  • Design accelerated tests that will be the most effective to achieve desired objectives
