Product Quality & Performance Testing in Durability & Life Cycle Testing
Simulate real-world stress, fatigue, and aging conditions with intelligent durability and life cycle testing solutions from Manufacturing EnviroTest.
Overview
Durability & Life Cycle Testing for Product Quality & Performance Testing is a vital solution offered by Manufacturing EnviroTest to evaluate how products perform over time and under repeated use. Our system simulates real-world environmental and mechanical stresses—including vibration, thermal cycling, humidity, mechanical fatigue, and wear—to predict product lifespan and uncover potential failure points before they occur in the field. These insights drive design improvements, reduce warranty claims, and ensure long-term reliability.
Headquartered in Seattle, WA, Manufacturing EnviroTest is a trusted leader in advanced product testing technologies across North America. With a focus on continuous R&D, strict QA processes, and a commitment to client support, we enable manufacturers to streamline validation and accelerate time-to-market. We proudly collaborate with GAO Tek and GAO RFID to enhance the reach and intelligence of our solutions.

Case Studies
United States – Michigan
A Tier 1 automotive supplier in Michigan implemented our durability testing system to validate seat adjuster mechanisms. After integrating our solution, they identified a mechanical fatigue issue during testing, which led to a design update and reduced warranty claims by 34%.
United States – North Carolina
A consumer electronics company in North Carolina adopted our life cycle testing system for wearable smart devices. The system revealed early housing fatigue under humidity and drop test cycles, enabling the team to switch materials before launch—saving over $1.2M in projected returns.
Canada – Quebec
A medical device firm in Quebec integrated our solution to test infusion pump components. Simulated life cycle testing uncovered micro-fractures under repeated pressure cycles, resulting in strengthened designs that passed both Health Canada and FDA requirements in a single approval cycle.
