The ATML Test Results and Session Information schema provides the definition for the data collected when you execute a test or tests of a UUT using test procedures in an automated test environment, including the measured values, pass/fail results, and accompanying data, such as test operator, station information, environmental conditions, and so on. ATML Test Results is a component standard of IEEE 1636 Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection Analysis (SIMICA).

TestStand generates XML reports that validate against the following versions of the Test Results and Session Information schema the ATML standard defines:

• Approved version 6.01
• Unapproved version 5.0
• Approved version 2.02

Use the Report Format ring control on the Contents tab of the Report Options dialog box to select the version you want to use.

The <TestStand>\Components\Models\TestStandModels\ATML\Schemas directory contains copies of versions 6.01, 5.0, and 2.02 of the schema.

You can customize an ATML report TestStand creates by implementing a DLL that calls one or more exported extension functions.

Known Issues with ATML Report Generators

• When a step containing limits has a run mode set to force failure, TestStand does not evaluate the comparator for the limits. This results in an empty comparator attribute value in the generated report XML, which may cause schema validation errors.
• ATML 2 does not support using an EqualityComparisonOperator attribute that is case sensitive. Therefore, ATML 2 reports always display IgnoreCase regardless of which comparison type you select in a String Value Test step.
