Worst case product performance verification with electromagnetic interference test applications
Forrest W. Breyfogle, Jim H. Davis · Quality and Reliability Engineering International · 1988
Abstract When many variables are prevalent, it is difficult systematically to identify the optimum configuration for product certification. This need can occur in areas such as testing performance of closed‐loop servo systems and testing products for electromagnetic interference (EMI). This paper proposes a test strategy to identify a 'determined worst case expected' product configuration and a criterion for pass/fail. The process was developed originally for EMI test applications; however, it can also be useful for other product performance specifications.
