I used to work for a big SAN mfg that as part of assembly and test would run the systems at a room temp of ~105f/40c, and then drop the temp to something cold (don't recall the temp). But the temp extremes and the rate of temp change would kill off the weak components. Those that survived then went through vibration testing... Fascinating stuff.
