An excellent short white paper by Craig Hillman that is worth reading. It underscores why I claim HALT is the second-worst four-letter acronym in our profession. See the paper at http://www.dfrsolutions.com/uploads/white-papers/Why_HALT_Is_Not_HALT.pdf
Good article. From my point of view, there are benefits to perform HALT (or HAST) plus ALT. The first one can be used to better understand the product operation limits and the second can predict some failures which is more suscetible for humidity + temperature accelerating factors. Therefore, HALT/HAST and ALT combined can give more confidence to have a reliable design to apply in the market.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, HALT can feed into ALT by providing insights into failure mechanisms.
cheers,
