HALT Testing (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) is a proven method developed by QualMark to find design defects and weaknesses in electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies. These defects often appear in end-use applications, causing product failures after the product is released. As a result, the HALT Testing process can effectively increase product reliability.
HALT usually takes 3-5 days compared to weeks or months for traditional Design Verification Testing (DVT). HALT is a design tool designed to save money by increasing product reliability, reducing warranty costs, and reducing time to market for products.

• Increases product quality / reliability.
• Quickly discover product "weak links"
• Reduces R&D costs.
• Reduce development time
• Reduces time to market.
• Investigate and improve design margins
• Ability to find and correct defects before your product is released (and before your customers find the defects).
• Lowers field failures, in-warranty problems, and associated costs.
• Ability to confidently increase warranty coverage.
• Evaluate changes made to product (ECO implementation)
