Test results and session information 4.1 Background Current automatic test system
34、architectures are implemented with tight coupling between components. This tight coupling inhibits interoperability by requiring components of the automatic test system to be developed specific to that particular architecture. In many cases, this coupling can be reduced by developing the components
35、that operate relative to standard interfaces. This document will facilitate accomplishing several objectives. First, the document will serve as a single source for specifying essential test data with data elements related to the unit under test (UUT), the test station, and the test program. Second,
36、the document will assist the automatic test equipment (ATE) industry to design and create compatible, interoperable tool sets such as data parsers and writers. Third, the standard will assist ATE users of such data (e.g., automotive, semiconductor, aerospace, and military) to process and display tes
37、t results across a variety of systems. This document has been developed as a “component standard” under IEEE Std 1636. SIMICAs purpose is to specify software interfaces for access, exchange, and analysis of product diagnostic and maintenance information. Test results provide a subset of the data nee
38、ded to satisfy SIMICAs requirements. This document also represents the test results component of IEEE Std 1671 (ATML). In defining its overall architecture, ATML references include both IEEE Std 1636 (SIMICA) and IEEE Std 1636.1 (this standard). 4.2 Introduction This documents XML schema and EXPRESS
39、 model provides a standard format for the transport of both quantitative (measured values) and qualitative (pass/fail determination) test results. The design is such that it is possible to store ancillary information such as environmental conditions and system/operator messages. This information, al
40、though not specifically “results,” is intended to permit use of an instance document for a variety of purposes, including statistical analysis and diagnostics. Some examples of this ancillary information include identifying information for the UUT, the test station, and the test program; ambient env
41、ironmental conditions at the time of the test; test equipment calibration data; as well as test program input data and ancillary textual comments. This document establishes a hierarchical structure for results data to permit the grouping of a series of related test results in a single instance docum
42、ent. 4.3 Applicability This document will permit test results data to be shared for a variety of purposes, including statistical analysis, diagnostics, and improvement of the unit under test (UUT) repair process. 6 Copyright 2013 IEEE.

44、hemas. A variety of XML software tools are available in a number of computer programming languages. This document makes no presumption regarding the tool(s) being used or the specific test system(s) generating the test result information being captured in an XML instance document. This document desc
45、ribes the TestResults.xsd schema and specifies the EXPRESS information model that conformant instance documents must follow. In general, this document serves as an enhancement to the annotations provided within the XML schema and EXPRESS model files. 4.4.1 XML schema representations Within the body
46、of this document, unless otherwise indicated, all syntax references relate to XML. Refer to XML eXtensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 B1 for detailed descriptions of XML data formats. 4.4.2 EXPRESS/EXPRESS-G representations This document also uses the EXPRESS information modeling language to represen
47、t the information contained in the XML schema in a way that supports alternative exchange mechanisms and better defines the semantics of the elements of the XML schema. The information models are presented in a lexical form (EXPRESS) as well as in graphical form (EXPRESS-G) to facilitate understandi
48、ng. The EXPRESS language is defined by ISO 10303-11:1994 B9. 4.5 Relationships to other automatic test system (ATS) architectural elements 4.5.1 General In the ATS context, a test is a procedure for evaluating or quantifying the operation of some device or system. The TestResults schema provides a s
49、tandard format for the transport or storage of both quantitative (measured values) and qualitative (pass/fail determination) test results. The XML schema design is such that ancillary information such as environmental conditions and system/operator messages may also be stored in an XML instance document. This information, while not specifically “results,” is intended to permit use of an XML instance document for a
