Solderability testing is a destructive process that tests the solderability of device leads. Steam aging is used with a combination of time (8h), temperature, and of course steam exposure to simulate lead aging of about 10 years.
At the end of the test a minimum of 95% of solder must adhere to each lead for the lot or batch to pass (MIL-STD-883). The point of this test is to make sure solder will stay properly adhered to leads in assembly and storage.
