What is shakedown testing?

Answer Posted / guru

A shakedown is a period of testing or a trial journey
undergone by a ship, aircraft or other craft and its crew
before being declared operational. Statistically, a
proportion of the components will fail after a relatively
short period of use, and those that survive this period can
be expected to last for a much longer, and more
importantly, predictable life-span. For example if an
important bolt has a hidden flaw introduced during
manufacture, it will not share the usual reliability
characteristics of other bolts of the same type.
