Method of corrosion resistance checking

What are the lab test to check the corrosion resistance of Ni-Cr Electroplated component? We are having one salt spray tester which gives us result in 10 days, which is not acceptable to us.

Dear Ajay,
Standard method of testing of corrosion for nickel chrome is CASS test (Copper accelerated acetic acid [on eBay or Amazon] salt spray). For details you can refer to ASTM B368.
