In this book Harry goes into hands on detail and doesn't just reiterate the theory. His explanations are complete and his guidelines are short and easy to follow. I especially found interest in his use of sigma values to determine the levels of energy a product MUST be able to endure, this gives us an educated guess into when you should fix a weekness without question and when you should take into acount cost and technology factors.

Purchasing this book is easier then compiling a library of published papers on the subject. It is worth the purchase price if you are working in the industry.

Being new to the subject and the first book I've read on HALT testing, I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know what HALT, HASS and HASA testing is all about, how they relate to one another and the advantages of having these tests done on a product. This book isn't going to hold your hand and help you set up a HALT testing program. The book will explain what types of equipment are involved and gives suggestions as to how to perform these types of tests and who should be involved. I've seen one other book on the subject and it's thicker and more theoretical with many formulas and such. It's a big turn off and very dry reading. This book is completely the opposite. Very practical knowledge explained in easy to understand language, as if a co-worker who's an expert on the subject is explaining the whole process to you.

HALT, HASS, and HASA is a great book. I've been using it as my HALT and HASS bible since the first edition. Harry explains the HASA methodology in an easy to use, step by step process. He also provides numerous case studies and examples to better explain the points. Best book on the subjects. This book is a must for anyone that will be practicing either HALT or HASS or HASA.

Great book, have one copy that I refer to regularly, a co-worker would like to obtain a copy as well, but this book is no longer in print. If anyone wishes to part with theirs contact me. This book was a good read, had good theoretical and practical explanations.

Thanks in advance....
