Just a question to throw out there.
We have to do a function test on a product that requires testing operation to 100,000 cycles. We are a fairly small organization, and have determined that this test will take several days of continous running. Since we do not have personnel here 24 hours, we want to break the test up into 8 hour segments, so someone will be availble to observe the test at all times.
Does this compromise the integrity of the test?
Some more data if it would be helpful, we are testing for fatigue of a large spring, and bushing wear at a hinge point.
