An Informational Guide to HALT and HASS

Product reliability is essential to success in today’s competitive global market. HALT and HASS are intensive methods used to expose and then improve design and process weaknesses. HALT and HASS are faster, less expensive and more accurate than traditional testing techniques. HALT and HASS are proven processes used to lower product development and manufacturing costs, compress time to market, reduce warranty costs, improve customer satisfaction, gain market share and increase profits. Some companies have reported savings in the millions after using HALT and HASS.

HALT and HASS can accelerate a product’s aging process from actual months into test minutes much faster than traditional testing!

Exposing Hard to Find Defects

This article discusses an abbreviated technique that uses the tools of HALT to expose hard-to-find defects in products returned by customers, written by Gary Delserro and published in Evaluation Engineering Magazine. Click on the link to view the article in PDF, Exposing Hard to Find Defects.

Your customer reports a problem in your product and sends it back to you. You test the faulty product in your lab and the problem doesn’t occur. Sometimes you try to bend it or tap it against the table. You may even try heating it in a chamber or with a heat gun or using a freeze spray. Still the problem does not expose itself.
