All you can do is try and simulate and accelerate exterior exposure and the possibility of cracking.This can be done by using hot and cold conditions, dry and wet or a combination of both. The tests that can be performed are tests such as elongation / tensile strength on films or simple inspections on different substrates that may be likely to generate cracks when exposed to different conditions. The fastest way to predict the tendency of a coating to crack is to measure the internal stress and mudding crack resistance. The higher the internal stress, the more tendency the film to crack.
