Analysis of Basic Directions of Accelerated Testing Development

This paper provides the author’s analysis of accelerated testing development. It considers four basic directions related to this development, specifically: 1) field accelerated testing; 2) laboratory testing using computer (software) simulation; 3) laboratory or proving ground testing with physical simulation of high stress inputs; 4) accelerated reliability/durability testing (ART/ADT) as a necessary component of a system that leads to successful prediction of product efficiency.
