Fatigue Test will put about 30 years of flight cycles on the A/P in a three year period. As the name states, it's "Fatigue" testing which will find out when, where and what will fail over the life of the A/P. We can develop repairs for structural failures and also inspection intervals. The airplane actually "flys" while in test. All the stresses are simulated, the wings are bent, rudder moves, flaps, flaperons, slats, etc, etc are all worked over. The A/P will pressurize and depressurize........

@lixbeyond they conduct tests for stress on the wings, look up "wing load test" in YouTube...
