Useful methodology has been developed in accelerated testing. This work deals with the topic Accelerated Testing: Statistical Models, Test Plans, and Data Analyses. It is useful for practitioners.

This practical resource presents modern, statistical methods for accelerated testing including test models, analyses of data, and plans for testing. Each topic is self-contained for easy reference. Coverage is broad and detailed enough to serve as a text or reference. This handy book features real test examples along with data analyses, computer programs, and references to the literature.
