Abstract:	Start-up demonstration tests are used to decide whether to accept or reject equipment. Various criteria have been proposed involving consecutive (or total) numbers of failures and successes. For example, a test may terminate when there have been k consecutive successes (accept) or f total failures (reject) whichever comes first. One may also consider clusters of successes or failures rather than consecutive. We shall discuss and compare the analyses of such tests and some associated statistical issues.
