  • Abstract
    Requirements for unusual operating environments and high reliability necessitate qualification and life tests of new or changed components. Considering these requirements, test planners determine test environments, instrumentation, and the number of parts and elapsed hours for the life test. A technique is presented to deal with one specific aspect of test planning¿the selection of that number of test units that will result in the lowest total cost of the life test.
