About This Item
IEEE 1636.1-2013 defines a software interface for maintenance information collection and analysis, with a focus on exchanging test results and session information through XML. In computing and processing environments, this standard helps structure maintenance data so it can be shared consistently between tools and systems. IEEE 1636.1-2013 is especially relevant where test outcomes, diagnostic sessions, and support records need to be captured in a predictable format for analysis, traceability, and interchange.
About IEEE 1636.1-2013
This standard specifies a SIMICA-related XML approach for representing maintenance information in a way that supports exchange between software applications. It is intended to organize test results and session details into a common structure, reducing ambiguity when data moves across maintenance or analysis workflows. As a redline edition, IEEE 1636.1-2013 is useful for understanding the document in relation to earlier text while still serving as a technical reference for interface and data-exchange requirements.
Where is IEEE 1636.1-2013 used?
IEEE 1636.1-2013 is typically used in software maintenance and test environments where results from diagnostic sessions must be recorded and transferred between systems. It may apply to tools that collect failure data, analyze test activity, or manage maintenance records in computing and processing workflows. The XML-based structure is particularly useful when multiple applications need to interpret the same session information without relying on proprietary formats or manual re-entry.
Importance in practice
In practice, this standard supports consistency in how maintenance data is exchanged, which can improve reliability in testing, troubleshooting, and record keeping. Clear data structure can reduce integration errors and help teams compare results across tools or projects. For organizations handling software diagnostics or maintenance analysis, IEEE 1636.1-2013 can aid compliance efforts, improve traceability, and lower the risk of misinterpreting session or test information during review.
