Hi Nicholas! There is some risk involved in the amount of aging you do to your
printed wiring assemblies and how much functional life you may be removing from
the product. Werner E. published a case study were some satellite electronics
were pretested to the point of causing premature failure and you can imagine
what the cost of a repair visit would have been! (hey Werner - I can't find the
reference to the article, do you have it handy?). A portion of your test
philosophy thinking should include the functional life impact of the test cycle.
Good Luck.
