基于XML的自动测试信息交换标准研究综述

Research Survey on XML-Based Information Exchange Standard for Automatic Test

随着自动化测试系统对于开放性、可扩展性、协同性以及信息完整性的需求越来越迫切,自动测试信息的共享交换迫切需要制定统一标准的格式来应对这一挑战。论文分析了自动测试信息共享交换的应用需求,并讨论了基于XML的测试信息描述格式的优势。美国军方与自动测试业界在XML的基础上正在制定自动测试标记语言(automatic test markup lan-guage,ATML)作为未来自动测试领域信息交换的标准格式。论文介绍了ATML的需求背景、体系组成、标准制定进程以及在自动测试系统中的实际应用案例,希望能对国内的自动测试信息交换标准制定工作提供有益的参考。

Due to the rapidly increasing demand of automatic test system for open-architecture, extensibility, interoperability, and information integrity, a standardized sharing format of automatic test information needs to be defined to meet these challenges. The application requirements of test information sharing and exchange are analyzed, and the advantages of XML-based description format are discussed in this paper. U. S. army and automatic test industry are establishing the Automatic Test Markup Language （ATML） based on XML as the information exchange standard format in the field of automatic test. This paper briefly describes the requirement background, framework, standardization process of ATML, and its application cases in automatic test systems. It is expected to be helpful to domestic standardization of automatic test information exchange format.
