1. A system for rapid testing of devices, the system comprising:
a test performance component configured for testing an intermittently operated device;
an interface component configured for providing a release interval value and a measurement interval value; and
a test control component configured for receiving the release interval value and the measurement interval value from the interface component and of providing the release interval value and the measurement interval value to said test performance component; and
said test performance component being configured for initiating interaction between said intermittently operated device and said test performance component, of performing a plurality of tests, each test from said plurality of tests occurring over one measurement interval value, and of terminating said plurality of tests after a predetermined condition is satisfied, all within an interval specified by the release interval value.
