HALT (Highly Accelerated Stress Testing) is a reliability testing method that when facilitated correctly has proven to provide a level of robustness and ruggedization rarely achieved by any other traditional methods of testing. Capitalizing on both singular and synergetic methods of stressors within the same test environment (chamber), latent anomalies have been proven to arise far more rapidly and consistently. The architecture of HALT was designed to simplify root cause failure analysis alleviating the time vs cost paradox to achieve faster design loopbacks. HALT continues to be embraced and then placed into the design process within many industries proving its efficacy.
