We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...

The study of lifetime distribution and reliability testing seeks to characterise the statistical behaviour of time-to-failure data for components and systems across a range of applications, from ...

Environmentally friendly is a term rapidly invading the electronics industry. The electronic industry will be facing great challenges over the next few years as the solder used in electronic products ...

As technology shrinks, Yield and Reliability (YAR) are major challenges of SoC (System on Chip) production. There are many techniques available for increasing YAR. YAR of devices depend on testing ...

This report responds to a request from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to identify engineering practices that have proved successful for system development and testing in industrial environments.

Engineers have long used thermal-cycle testing determine the reliability of PWBs (printed wire boards). Traditionally, engineers have used thermal-cycling ovens, liquid to liquid and fluidized sand, ...

Software testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of applications. Two important testing approaches are component testing and end-to-end testing. Component testing focuses ...

Times are changing fast. Take the automotive industry for example. Software has evolved far beyond infotainment, now controlling everything in the car, including braking and steering for the driver.

Fielding operationally suitable systems is a prime objective of defense acquisition. A suitable weapon system is one that is available for combat when needed, is reliable enough to accomplish its ...
