Reader reviews for Test Engineering: A Concise Guide to Cost-Effective Design, Development and Manufacture (Quality and Reliability Engineering Series)

From the publisher

Qualittssicherung im ingenieurtechnischen Bereich ist eine Aufgabe, die nur durch die Zusammenarbeit verschiedener Disziplinen gelst werden kann. Dieser Band stellt eine Reihe spezialisierter Testverfahren in einen breiteren Zusammenhang und hilft dem Leser bei der Entwicklung eigener Testmethodologien schon whrend der Produktentwicklung. Der Autor erlutert den Grundgedanken einer Testphilosophie, wobei er auf alle Phasen des Lebenszyklus eines Produkts eingeht. Er beschreibt wichtige Testmethoden fr mechanische und elektronische Systeme sowie fr Software. Ntzlich ist eine ausfhrliche Fehleranalyse anhand von Fallstudien.

First line

It is necessary to test engineering products for a number of reasons.

From the rear cover

Testing is the most expensive, time-consuming and difficult activity in the development of engineering products and systems. Many industrial testing practices are based upon traditional standards and procedures that fail to provide the optimum balance of assurance versus cost and time. Presenting a consistent philosophy of test engineering, this book is the first of its kind to describe the broad spectrum of modern methods and technologies.
This valuable reference will aid engineers who must manage and conduct the difficult and uncertain tasks of testing new designs and products. The unique and readable style makes this an indispensable text for all engineering students.
* A multi-disciplinary approach to test engineering including test economics and management.
* Practical, concise descriptions of the methods and technologies in modern mechanical, electronics and software testing, including accelerated test.
* Insights into the developing interface between modern design analysis methods and testing practice.
* An explanation of why products and systems fail, which testing methods are appropriate to each stage of the product life cycle and how testing can reduce failures.
* An overview of international testing regulations and standards.

About the author

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.

Since 1995 he has worked as an independent consultant on engineering management, reliability, quality and safety.
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.
