Abstract :
The testing of products to diagnose and repair their failures has been attacked from various perspectives for decades. Dependent on the nature of the product, who manufactured it and who is maintaining it, multiple tools, languages and standards have arisen to address the test requirements for maintaining the product. These efforts have been for the most part fragmented in approach, focusing on a small part of the overall problem of test. ABBET is a standardization effort aimed at encompassing the whole test domain, from product definition to test specification to ATS bus control. This paper discusses the goals, philosophy and products of the ABBET standard
