Abstract
A damage index predicting system is for predicting a damage-related index of solder joints of an electronic device having the solder joints that electrically connect an electronic component to a mounting circuit board and one or more detection solder joints that are designed so as to have a shorter life than the solder joints. The system includes: a database configured to store a fracture relationship between the detection solder joints and the solder joints; a fracture detector configured to detect fracture of the detection solder joints; and a processor configured to calculate a prediction value of the damage-related index of the solder joints based on information relating to the fracture of the detection solder joints obtained by the fracture detector and the fracture relationship stored in the database.
