IEEE 1636.1-2013

The scope of this standard is the definition of an exchange format, utilizing XML, for exchanging data resulting from executing tests of a unit under test (UUT) via a test program in an automatic test environment. The standard uses the information models of IEEE Std 1636™-20093 as a foundation.

The purpose of this standard is to specify a software interface for access, exchange, and analysis of test result information. The standard enables the capture of test results data, facilitating data analysis to assess the effectiveness of test and diagnostic processes applied to complex systems. The test results information model and XML schema define the semantics and exchange format for information to be used among applications implementing the SIMICA family of standards.

Revision Standard - Superseded. This standard is intended to promote and facilitate interoperability between components of automatic test systems where test results need to be shared. The standard thus facilitates the capture of test results data in storage devices and databases, facilitating online and offline analysis. The test results schema becomes a class of information that can be used within the SIMICA family of standards. The exchange format utilizes the XML formats.
