ALTA ALTA Degradation Data

Accelerated Degradation Data Analysis

Degradation analysis is a technique that uses the performance (degradation) measurements of a product over time to predict the point at which each unit in the sample is expected to fail. This analysis is useful for tests performed on products with very high reliability, where it is not possible to test the units to failure under normal conditions. ALTA degradation analysis uses accelerated stress levels during testing to further reduce the test time required to obtain the predicted failure times. The predicted failure times are failures that would occur under these accelerated stress levels.
