Destructive Testing

Destructive testing is a process where load or stress is applied to the object of interest until the specimen fails. These tests are generally much easier to carry out, yield more information, and are easier to interpret than nondestructive testing. Nondestructive testing of an object is often done in view of future use, which would make destructive testing pointless. However, it can be useful if the result gives information about similar specimens which are not tested.
