[Call for Participation] Study Group: IEEE Std 1450.4, Standard Test Interface Language for Test Flow Specification

IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) invites you to participate in the Study Group for IEEE Standard for Extensions to Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) (IEEE Std 1450-1999) for Test Flow Specification.

WHY GET INVOLVED

This standard (STIL.4) extends IEEE Std 1450™-1999 (STIL.0) to provide an interface between test generation tools and test equipment with regard to the specification of the flow of execution of test program components. It defines …

1. 1. Structures so that test flows, sub-flows, and binning may be described in a manner that facilitates automated generation, modification, and/or manual maintenance and, although not yet a complete run-time test language, execution on automated test equipment (ATE).
   2. An interface between tester configurations [described by STIL.0 and IEEE Std 1450.2™-2002 (STIL.2)] and test program components.
   3. A hierarchy of flows, sub-flows, and test components.
   4. Structures for defining flow-related variables and processing expressions involving those variables.
   5. Structures that support automatic test program generation (ATPRG) and translation and that support running it natively as an ATE programming language.

This standard, originally published in 2017, will expire in 2027 unless action is taken to renew the standard.

The purpose of the Study Group is:

1. 1. To determine whether sufficient interest and resources exist to develop an updated IEEE draft standard, and
   2. If so, to develop a draft PAR for the proposed project.
