Testing

Whether for commercial, scientific, engineering, or military applications all physical objects require measurement and close observation to verify physical and behavioral characteristics at some point in their development. This kind of testing normally involves:

  • Stress Testing - a form of testing to determine the stability of a system or object. Normally, stress testing looks at results that go beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe and measure the results. Some key stressors include:
    • Compression
    • Temperature
    • Pressure
  • Performance Testing - a form of testing usually applied in engineering or functional evaluations where measurable performance characteristics are observed and analyzed. Some key performance indicators include:
    • Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF)
    • Operational Speed or Latency
    • Deviation from Specification over time
    • Optimal conditions for maximum results
  • Conditional Testing - as the title suggests, this is a form of testing that evaluates objects or systems under various conditions, such as:
    • Change in environment to determine outcomes
    • Component variation to determine result

testing

The cornerstone of testing physical objects is visual observation. However, psychology and other disciplines have taught us the unreliable nature of human visual observation. High speed, high definition digital video systems capable of applying measurement and other analytics can provide a completely objective and reliable data set for making scientific conclusions.

  •  Some key benefits of High Performance Digital Video Recording (HPDVR) and analysis systems include:

    • Capture of rapid high speed object state change/alteration due to internal or external factors
    • Examination and correlation of cascading and/or related incidents
    • Examination of incidents taking place occurring beyond the visual spectrum
    • Correlation of visual and non visual data

    Boulder Imaging Exceeds Your Testing Requirements

    The ability to leverage a high performance digital video recording (HPDVR) solution as a testing platform for multiple purposes - making it an indispensable tool for validating product specifications and capabilities - provides critical cost and time saving benefits. Boulder Imaging's core competency lies in the development of integrated systems for the analysis of visual and non visual data.
