Abstract
In the fields of reliability application, the most commonly used test methods for reliability qualification are zero failure tests since they require fewer test samples and less test time compared to other test methods that guarantee the same reliability with a given confidence level. An economic zero failure test plan is developed that minimizes the total cost related to perform a life test to guarantee a specified reliability of a product with a given confidence level and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the use of the proposed test method.
