[[File: RV_flow.jpg | thumb | upright | Robustness Validation schedule of product development to mass production name="RVHB_SC" <ref/>]]
Today's standard qualification procedures for electronic components, assemblies and components for the automotive industry is based on the use of standardized tests at the end of the product development of parts and components. In contrast, Robustness Validation is a process that includes the entire product development process, as well as mass production. The qualification of the components based on the robustness analysis is thus implicitlyimplicit. With the introduction of robustness validation, priorities are definedfocused inon the development process again. The aim is to reduce the construction error's construction during the later phases of the project, which means ''front loading'' measures time in the product development processtime mustline be performedprocess.
It is necessary, that the requirements from the product to the next level of the value chain breakbe broken down in order to meet specific statements about possible vulnerabilities. Back in the early phases of the project is the knowledge (eg, from knowledge bases [[Lessons Learned]]) resortedgained from previous projects in order to avoid known vulnerabilities documented. Using the analysis of the changes of the new product and the use of different methods, such as [[REM]], [[DRBFM]]'' or'' design reviews, new potential vulnerabilities are identified early in order to analyzemake potential risks arising early and unavoidable. Which are hereby established critical parameters are used for the analysis of the feasibility of the project and flow optionally with the change of the initially established with one product requirements.
Validation occurs in the proof of the functional feasibility and reliability while meeting the functional and the implementation of the specifications are checked.
