V. B. Bonus – A Few Models

V. Reliability Testing
B. Testing during development

Describe the purpose, advantages, and limitations of each of the following types of tests, and use common models to develop test plans, evaluate risks, and interpret test results.

1. Accelerated life tests (e.g., single-stress, multiple-stress, sequential stress, step-stress) (Evaluate)

Build, conduct, and interpret accelerated testing takes more knowledge than briefly covered here.
