DiagML - an interoperability platform for test and diagnostics software

The integration of diagnostic software and test execution environments developed by different vendors requires a common data exchange format. The paper describes a new format based on XML, called the Diagnostic Modeling Language (DiagML). This format is currently used for integrating software applications developed by DSI International and TYX Corporation. The design-to-test process supported by DiagML is illustrated through a diagnostic application for a simple analog circuit.
