Welcome to the ASTR Chairman’s Corner. This part of the website will serve to report on past activities and to inform on upcoming events.
I would like to personally invite you and your associates to participate in the 2005 ASTR workshop in Austin, Texas. This committee is dedicated to communicating best practices of accelerated stress testing and reliability. We do this by hosting an annual three day interactive workshop located in a different area of the US each year. The committee members understand first hand the value ASTR brings to product development. (click here for more information about the ASTR workshop committee)
