Are We As Good As We Need to Be?
Requirements and Testing in the Real World
In a perfect world, all components
and subsystems would have stringent reliability requirements that
are proven via testing of multiple units over long durations at
conditions identical to their use environment. However, we must live
in the real world. In the real world, we must prove that our products
meet their reliability requirements within the limitations of budget
and schedule. By looking at three examples of real
components/subsystems with varying degrees of complexity,
significance and resource constraints, we will discuss the process
followed within GE Healthcare-Life Support Solutions for developing
reliability requirements and demonstrating compliance with those
requirements.
Key Words: Reliability
Testing, Requirements, Accelerated Testing
