A coating analysis system and method inductively heat a component having a coating. Optionally, the component is heated while a cooling fluid flows through cooling holes extending through the component and the coating. The system and method measure rates of infrared radiation emission from the component and the coating at different locations on the component and the coating. The system and method determining bond qualities (e.g., tensile strengths of bonds) between the coating and the component at the different locations based on the rates of infrared radiation emission that are measured.
