Abstract
This paper presents a critical overview of the current state-of-the-art of Accelerated Reliability Tests (ALTs) and field reliability. Investigations have been focused on a few critical issues, including test philosophy, test physics, test procedure, and test statistics. It has been identified that there is a huge gap between ALT and field reliability. Challenges and solutions include bridging gap between deterministic and statistical approaches, identifying failure modes/mechanisms and their interaction, making scientific judgement of complicated ALT procedures, determining sample size and targeted failure rate for test plans, building databases of ALT and field reliability for knowledge discovery, and developing powerful and integrated tools for virtual qualification and reliability prediction.
