What happens when failures occur during HALT?
Stop the test. Record the failure mode and stress level. Use isolation techniques to identify failure location. Document failure location. Perform root cause analysis. Repair/replace the failed component or create a “work around” for the failure mode. Resume testing to induce additional failures and to widen the operating margins of the product until the fundamental limit of the technology is reached.
