30 days doesn't even scratch the surface for safety-critical 
applications, even if no bespoke hardware is involved.

For example, the testing regimen of the last DoD project I worked on 
included simulated EMP bursts as well as the usual environmental 
hazards.  Those tests took days to run.. after the several weeks it took 
to get lab time scheduled.
