Less dramatic tests include simple actuation tests. It used to take three months to do a 1-million-application durability test, but newer technology has cut the test time by stopping the actual application once the brake has reached a certain amount of torque force. Test durations have been cut from 13 weeks to 6 weeks. Air disc brakes on buses, for example, require 5 million application test cycles. A 50% cut in test duration can make a big difference in development time.
