HALT / HASS: Making It, Breaking It, Fixing It Before Release

To help quantify product value and define quality to include performance, reliability, conformance, durability, and fitness for use, Advanced Input Systems conducts Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) test and analysis processes—before your product goes into production. HALT is a widely accepted methodology in the electronics manufacturing industry. Published studies on HALT chamber usage document that field failures of products within their first year of use have been lowered from >10% to less than 1%.
