Quality and Reliability Verification (QRV) process starts by defining the correct requirements early in the product design. It involves comprehensive product design and technology development integration, implementation of robust and controlled manufacturing processes and systems, and ultimately leads to Quality and Reliability Verification testing on the finished product.
The Product Qualification report documents the product QRV testing results. During QRV testing, Altera uses both standards-based and knowledge-based qualification strategies to ensure that Altera products are shipped with the highest quality while considering cost and practicality of these requirements. Altera uses industry accepted standards such as JEDEC and internally developed stress methodologies so that the products conform to the product quality and reliability requirements.
QRV stress tests were conducted on units that have completed the full manufacturing flow. In all cases, a failure is defined as a failure to meet datasheet parameters as measured by the appropriate production and/or engineering tester.
