Yes, I apologize for sounding flippant, but it's true.
HAST test, HALT test, ESS and so on and so forth do not even guarantee "reliability". They only provide a means to test reliability and are at best an indicator.
Perfect quality, ie, all components meeting spec, all assembly meeting spec, and all materials meeting spec, do not guarantee reliability either.
The Holy Grail of Reliability lies 90% in the original design, selection of appropriate materials (especially the PWB), and good matching of the components and materials to meet the requirements of the end use, and the other 10% depends on the quality, tolerance stackups of the component and circuitry performance. It is a tough act to juggle.

We apologize for Richard's frivolous response. He's been hanging around Doug too long and besides that he's got his Homers confused. For the real prose and cons on long term reliability, read the Odyssey.

Dear All,
Which book should i study to understand the reliability engineering of PCB. regards,
