Zusatztext "All undergraduates should read it and all test and engineering managers should have a copy." (Journal of the Safety & Reliability Society! Autumn 2000) Informationen zum Autor Patrick O'Connor received his engineering training at the Royal Air Force Technical College. He served for 16 years in the RAF Engineer Branch, including tours on aircraft maintenance and in the Reliability and Maintainability office of the Ministry of Defence (Air). He joined British Aerospace Dynamics in 1975, and was appointed Reliability Manager in 1980. In March 1993 he joined British Rail Research as Reliability Manager. >Mr. O'Connor is the author of "Practical Reliability Engineering", published by John Wiley (3rd. edition 1995). He is also the author of the chapter on reliability and quality engineering in the Academic Press Encyclopaedia of Physical Science and Technology, and until 1999 was the UK editor of the Wiley journal "Quality and Reliability Engineering International". He is editor of the Wiley book series in quality and reliability engineering. He has written many papers and articles on quality and reliability engineering and management, and he lectures at universities and other venues on these subjects. In 1984 he won the Allen Chop Award, presented by the American Society for Quality, for his contribution to reliability science and technology. He is the author of the book "The Practice of Engineering Management", which describes the modern approaches to managing engineering, based upon the teaching of Peter Drucker. The book was published by John Wiley in 1994. Klappentext Qualitätssicherung im ingenieurtechnischen Bereich ist eine Aufgabe, die nur durch die Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Disziplinen gelöst werden kann. Dieser Band stellt eine Reihe spezialisierter Testverfahren in einen breiteren Zusammenhang und hilft dem Leser bei der Entwicklung eigener Testmethodologien schon während der Produktentwicklung. Der Autor erläutert den Grundgedanken einer Testphilosophie, wobei er auf alle Phasen des Lebenszyklus eines Produkts eingeht. Er beschreibt wichtige Testmethoden für mechanische und elektronische Systeme sowie für Software. Nützlich ist eine ausführliche Fehleranalyse anhand von Fallstudien. Zusammenfassung Testing is the most expensive, time-consuming, and difficult activity in the development of engineering products and systems. Much of the testing that is performed in industry is based on tradition, standards, and procedures that do not provide the optimum balance of quality assurance versus cost and time.
