10 Steps to Successful Qualification Testing Webinar

Execution of a product qualification test program is a multifaceted venture.  Many technical issues arise due to the complex nature of the environments and products being tested.  However, a qualification program comprises much more scope than testing alone.  This short course provides a “Top Ten” list of critical considerations for planning and executing a qualification test program.  Topics discussed during the session include requirements development and specifications, understanding the application, working with the environmental lab and support organizations planning for test success, and documentation considerations.  The overall goal of this course is to inform engineers, program managers, and other involved professionals of the complexities of product qualification to better prepare them to ask the right questions of their support personnel.
