burn-in

Definition

Procedure used in spotting weak parts or circuits of an electronic device (such as a computer) by running it at full power in a hot and humid environment for extended periods (up to 30 days for critical systems). This practice is based on the experience that semiconductor devices often show their defects in the first few days or weeks of operation.
