Sebert uses the revolutionary ROSE test method. ROSE (Robustness Specification for Environmental testing) has been developed by Sebert in conjunction with Sony Ericsson. Many test results, inspired by the classical quality approaches (Talor etc.), are based on either passing, or not passing a certain level. Modern Quality/Reliability approaches however require a reassessment of the quality of definition. Instead of "good output", it migrates towards "fitness for use", and value for money.  Once again, the question arises: how good are we? This is not answered solely with the test-to-fail approach, but more so through understanding. Changing pulse shapes and rising temperatures establish more than just test insight. The test is a means, not an end; the goal is to understand the product and the sensitivity to its environment.  ROSE is a test philosophy based on existing tests and the test-to-fail approach. In terms of reporting Quality/Reliability levels are presented clearly structured and comprehensible via graphs on a single page overview, where the overall Quality/Reliability level can be quantified. Through information reduction and a benchmark approach, ROSE can be very useful to facilitate communication between the sales & marketing and design departments
