Fred interviews Jim McLinn about the annual ASTR conference.

2017 Accelerated Stress Testing and Reliability (ASTR) Conference

Sponsored by IEEE Reliability Society and ASQ Reliability Division

Exceeding Customer Expectations Through Accelerated Life Testing

September 27 – 29, 2017

Hilton Garden Inn Downtown, Austin, Texas 512 480-8181

The 2017 Accelerated Stress Testing and Reliability (ASTR) Conference is focused on highlighting cutting-edge methods to deliver maximum cost-benefits from accelerated reliability testing. ASTR 2017 is relevant to product development, test and manufacturers involved in the aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, defense, biomedical, telecommunications, software and other leading industries where reliability is a key driver of operational and business success. ASTR 2017 will present detailed case studies, best practices, lessons learned, and clear insight on how to best apply and integrate accelerated testing tools and methods.

Students welcome to present research.
The 2017 focus will include (but not limited to):

The science of test acceleration: integration of design modeling, analysis and accelerated testing
New Accelerated Test Standards in progress
Effects of corrosion and high energy radiation on reliability
Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS)
Selecting Sample Size
Develop life test plans
