Using DMFEA to Drive Accelerated Testing 1999-01-1082
By using the DFMEA to design an accelerated test that will take one or two days the design engineer and the validation engineer can determine quickly whether the design has successfully avoided key failure modes and unanticipated failure modes or if redesign is needed. This provides better continuity in the design iteration process. Once the design has been proven to be free of design related failure modes the validation can be conducted.
