What is Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT)?HALT (or Highly Acclerated Life Testing) is a product reliability test that takes place during the design process in order to discover the weak links of a product prior to design completion. A stimulus is applied to a component as part of a fully functional product, or to the product as a whole to determine weak links or mismatches. Additionally, other types of stimuli are applied to determine points of failure, such as:
The highly accelerated life test conditions are such that the product is expected to break, eventually. The “successful” HALT test is one in which the product fails as the designer expects under the expected conditions of the product design. By finding the failure points for each critical component a better product emerges.

The different varieties of accelerated stress testing are as follows:
