Destructive testing
In destructive testing, tests are carried out to the specimen's failure, in order to understand its structural performance or material behaviour under different loads.
Destructive testing is most suitable, and economic, for objects which will be mass produced, as the cost of destroying a small number of specimens is negligible. It is usually not economic to do destructive testing where only one or very few items are to be produced (for example, in the case of a building).
These tests are generally much easier to carry out, yield more information, and are easier to interpret than non-destructive testing.
O pior é quando se aplica este teste às relações: podem até produzir mais informação e ser mais fáceis de interpretar. Mas não são seguramente mais fáceis de levar a cabo.
E aí é que são elas.
