Is Reliability Testing Always Necessary?

Do Reliability Testing That Adds Value, Informs Decisions, and Provides Information

Reliability testing is expensive, time-consuming, and fraught with errors. Is it really worth the effort? Is it necessary? Let’s explore relegating testing to only when absolutely necessary status. Let’s explore what you and your team can do to instead.

Testing results arrive late in the development program, often too late to make reliability improvements. The development team requires reliability performance feedback much earlier to effectively make design and process improvements.

The dilemma is many organization rely on prototype testing to create the first estimates of product reliability performance. You can and should do better.

Let’s explore the alternatives to testing you may want to employ. Plus, let’s ensure the little as possible testing that is conducted generates the reliability information efficiently and effectively. Reliability testing should provide significant value to the team given the typical testing investment.

In this webinar, we will discuss poor and best practices around reliability testing, plus a handful of viable alternatives to limit the need for reliability testing.
