Technical
How many repeats of the operating history can be endured?
Where will part fail?
What compound will give best life?
Diagnostics what specific features, loads, times are critical?
Optimal operating procedures (ie seal ID vs pipe OD) for seal
life?
Management
Prototyping / Manufacturing Resources
Testing Resources
Accurate evaluation vs. limited development time and budget
Consequences of failure at prototype or production stages
