HALT began 40 years ago with a simple idea of testing beyond specifications in order to better understand design margins. Over the past 40 years, thousands of engineers around the world have been exposed to the concepts of HALT and have tried the techniques.

This webinar will explore what we have learned in the past 40 Years and what the future of HALT could be?

This will be a shortened version of the 2 hour tutorial we will be giving as part of the IEEE ASTR Workshop (www.ieee-astr.org) on Oct 9-11, 2013.
