When a researcher wants to perform a life-test comparison study of items made by two separate lines inside the same institution, joint censoring strategies are particularly important. In this paper, we present a new joint Type-Ⅰ hybrid censoring that enables an experimenter to stop the investigation as soon as a pre-specified number of failures or time is first achieved. In the context of newly censored data, the estimates of the unknown mean lifetimes of two different Rayleigh populations are acquired using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inferential techniques. The normality characteristic of classical estimators is used to offer asymptotic confidence interval bounds for each unknown parameter. Against gamma conjugate priors, the Bayes estimators and related credible intervals are gathered about symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. Since classical and Bayes estimators are acquired in closed form, simulation tests can be easily made to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies. The efficiency of the suggested approaches is examined in terms of four metrics, namely: Root mean squared error, average relative absolute bias, average confidence length, and coverage probability. To demonstrate the applicability of the offered approaches to real events, two real applications employing data sets from the engineering area are analyzed. As a result, when the experimenter's primary goal is to complete the test as soon as the total number of failures or the threshold period is recorded, the numerical results reveal that the recommended strategy is adaptable and very helpful in completing the study.
