Risk Based Testing


Developing Better Test Plans


Developing Better Test Plans Introduction

In order to write better test plans, we must first understand;- the use environment - the key risks to the design

The best tool for this is FMEA


Developing Better Test Plan

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is the process by which we explore potential failure modes and then prioritize by key risks


Once the risks have been identified and prioritized, it is time to develop mitigations.

Often times the best mitigations are with reliability testing.

Developing Better Test Plan


Developing Better Test Plans

Stated another way, we cannot know what to test for unless we understand the key risks.

Therefore, FMEA is one of the best sources of input for a Reliability Test Plan.


Case Study - Inhaler


Developing a Test Plan without FMEA

• What types of tests can you think of for this device?


Developing a Test Plan without FMEA

• We used the IEC standards and came up with a number of environmental tests:– High/Low Temperature– Temperature Cycling– Vibration– Drop– Shock– Crush– Humidity– Altitude– Did we miss any?


FMEA Generated Tests• For each test, we had the option of following

the spec or going beyond using HALT.• We performed an FMEA to determine the

risks associated with each environment.• We then chose the following test types for

each environment.HALT/TEST TO FAILURE IEC/SPEC TEST– High/Low Temperature - Humidity– Temperature Cycling - Altitude– Vibration– Drop– Shock


FMEA Generated Tests• During the FMEA, we also came up

with several other types of tests not found in IEC– Cleaning/sterilization test– Disassembly/reassembly test– Material compatibility test– Clogging test– Poking test– Cap Tether test– Battery Life test– Cyclic Loading on Buttons test– Dosage Knob Locking test– Bystander Hazard test


FMEA Generated Tests -Summary

• As you can see by this one example, we would have missed many of the potential failure modes had we not used a risk-based testing methodology.


FMEA Generated Tests -Summary

• We also illustrated how we can start with spec based environmental tests such as temperature, vibration, and drop testing, and then go beyond the required specs and test to failure if the risk analysis dictates it.

• This is the essence of HALT.


POLLING QUESTION 1Do you currently use your risk analysis to drive your testing ?

a. Yes, alwaysb. For some types of testsc. Rarelyd. Never


HALT and HASS


HALT - HASSWhat is HALT –HASSH – HighlyA – Accelerated L – LifeT – TestingHALT Testing is conducted in the design stage

H – HighlyA – Accelerated S – StressS – Screening HASS Testing is a Manufacturing Screening Process


Why do HALTWhat HALT/HASS does for your Company

Your Products – Defect/Problem Free?• New Products

– Expedite the Development of New Products– Understand the Operational Parameters of Product and widen them– Ruggedize the product and remove design related weaknesses

• Mature Products– Warranty Concerns– Find Manufacturing Defects/Process Changes– Look for Continuous Product Improvement

• Savings, Savings, Savings– Defects Cost Money– Eliminate Costly Warranty Issues– Reduce Valuable R & D Time– Expedite Time To Market

HALT is a design process ruggedization tool for the designers


Why Do HALT?

HALT is a design process ruggedization tool for the designers


HALT PROCESS

POLLING QUESTION 2Do you use the methodology of HALT ?

a. We use it all the time and have our own HALT equipment

b. We use it all the time and use an outside lab service

c. We occasionally use it d. We used it once or twicee. We have never used it


Role of IEC60601-1 Rev 3 in Risk Based Testing

• Now that we understand the basics of Risk Based Testing and how HALT plays a role in this, let’s look at the role of the new IEC60601-1 Rev 3 document.
