Eleven sets of test plans are given for testing ``λ = λ0'' against the alternative ``λ = λ10'' and ``λ = λ2> λ0'' where λ is the failure rate. The results are useful for incentive plans and life-cycle costing applications, and are fundamental in the life testing of equipment, whether a consumer or industrial item, during the constant failure-rate period. The theory and equations for the calculations of the tables and plans are developed and discussed and the related references are included.
