Term of the day : 'Highly Accelerated Stress Screening'

Used as part of the production process to detect component and HALT are used (such as rapid temperature cycling, power cycling, vibration, etc.), but once the product parameters are known from the HALT process, testing in production is usually at lower levels so that product life is not manufacturing irregularities as early as possible. Similar stress parameters to reduced.
