Accelerated testing aids profitability across a wide range of industries. Every manufacturer whose product contains a microprocessor, circuit card or electromechanical assembly can benefit from accelerated test methods.
“You can use accelerated testing for testing components, subassemblies, or finished products, so we use it at all three levels,” says Brian Dahl, environmental test engineer at Agilent Technologies Inc. (Palo Alto, CA). Agilent is a test and measurement company that provides core electronic and bioanalytical measurement tools to advance the electronics, communications, life science research, environmental and petrochemical industries.
