Susan Mansilla suggests:
My favorite torture test is to run portions of a board through the 7 day
Moisture/Insulation Resistance test 95RH with cycling temperature and then
throw the coupons on a solder pot and section.

Doug Pauls, well into his second Diet Dew of the day, adds:
I can imagine Susan cackling evilly as she throws the coupon on the molten
solder.  What fun, but what a wimpy test.  If you REALLY want to torture a
board, do the 7 day moisture test, immerse the coupon in liquid nitrogen
for 20 minutes, THEN throw it on the solder pot.  Be sure to wear safety
goggles and avoid the flying shards of laminate.  Now THAT's torturing the
board.
