Abstract
One of the recommendations of a sequential testing procedure is that when both the type I and type II errors are specified, it requires a smaller sample on the average than when a fixed sample scheme is used. Thus in reliability testing and acceptance sampling where cost consideration and time constraints are of the essence sequential sampling plans have a distinct edge over fixed sampling schemes. We therefore describe some sequential methods which have been considered by Wasan (1969), Edgeman and Salzburg (1991), Joshi and Shah (1990) and Chaturvedi (1991).
