Sorry, I was pointed out a typo in the email I sent 2 hrs ago this afternoon.
MALT should be corrected to HALT in the second insertion with "The product is
made better, but how much better is not known, at least not by the MALT
methods."

Thanks.

Hi Darrell,
By coincidence, I'm reading the book you recommended. I found your descriptions
consistent with the book. Please allow me to insert some supplements below.

HALT. Highly Accelerated Stress Testing. This can go by other names. This
is where you stress the product (prototype stage typically) using a number
of criteria, the most common being temperature extremes and vibration. You

Don't forget that proper HALT testing is to test to failure, i.e., if the
product doesn't fail the HALT test was not performed properly. You do not
"pass" a HALT test. You learn from the failures.

Dwight,
Our engineering group regularly sends products out for HALT testing. We
design ITE, although not computers. Some of the system problems that they
uncover are broken solder joints (mass of component), poor connections
(circuit boards), and other mechanical problem (fasteners).
The main idea
Dwight:
As you may be aware, there is a major push to use COTS (commercial off-the-
shelf) hardware in military and space systems for non-critical (i.e., not life
threatening or the equivalent for non-repairable spaceborne systems). The
clear implication is that cool-running, functionally-efficie
