Product test plans, also known as design verification, product qualification, and accelerated life testing (though, these are not the same thing), are critical to the successful launch of a new product or new technology into the marketplace and into the arms of the customer. These test plans require sufficient stresses to bring out real design deficiencies or defects, but not excessive levels that induce non-representative product failure. Tests must be rapid enough to meet tight schedules, but not so accelerated as to produce excessive stresses. Every test must provide value and must demonstrate correlation to the eventual use environment (which includes screening, storage, transportation / shipping, installation, and operation).
 
DfR Solutions uses its intimate knowledge of industry standards combined with our expertise in the physics of degradation mechanisms in electronics to develop efficient product test plans that ensure product reliability without the excessive use of internal resources. In addition, through our life testing and product testing capabilities, we can reduce capital expenses and keep headcount low by performing product testing at DfR Solutions.
