burn-in period
(jargon) | burn-in period
n.
1. A factory test designed to catch systems with marginal components
before they get out the door; the theory is that burn-in will protect
customers by outwaiting the steepest part of the bathtub curve (see {
infant mortality}).
2. A period of indeterminate length in which a person using a computer is
so intensely involved in his project that he forgets basic needs such as
food, drink, sleep, etc. Warning: Excessive burn-in can lead to burn-out.
See hack mode, larval stage.
Historical note: the origin of “burn-in” (sense 1) is apparently the
practice of setting a new-model airplane's brakes on fire, then
extinguishing the fire, in order to make them hold better. This was done on
the first version of the U.S. spy-plane, the U-2.
