Abstract: Abstract Burn-in is a quality screening technique used to induce early failures that would be costly if experienced by the customer. As a method to screen out the earlier failures of the products, burn-in testing has been widely used in electronic manufacturing as well as many other areas such as the military and aerospace industries since the 1950s. Burn-in has proven to be a very effective quality control procedure which can improve products’ quality, enhance their reliability for operational life, and bring both profit and goodwill to the manufacturers.
