Full title and description

Road vehicles — Open Test sequence eXchange format (OTX) — Part 3: Standard extensions and requirements. This International Standard specifies the OTX extension requirements and the exhaustive data-model specification for OTX extensions, establishing syntax (UML class diagrams and XML schemas) and semantics (UML activity diagrams and prose) for extension features used to describe vehicle test and diagnostic sequences.

Abstract

ISO 13209-3:2022 defines extension requirements and data model specifications for the Open Test sequence eXchange (OTX) format. Requirements are derived from the use cases in ISO 13209-1 and the document provides syntactic and semantic rules for all implemented OTX extension features so that OTX documents containing extension constructs can be interchangeably interpreted by tools and systems. The syntax is given via UML class diagrams and XML schemas; semantics via UML activity diagrams and explanatory text.

Scope

This part of ISO 13209 specifies extension-level requirements and an exhaustive data-model specification for OTX extension features that extend the OTX core (defined in ISO 13209-2). It covers rules for defining syntactical entities of each extension and the semantic rules that determine how OTX documents containing extension features are to be interpreted. The requirements are pulled from the use cases in ISO 13209-1.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of OTX extension mechanism and rules for adding extension features to the OTX core.
• Data-model specifications for extension constructs expressed with UML class diagrams.
• XML schema definitions for exchangeable OTX extension syntax.
• Semantic definitions and behavior specified by UML activity diagrams and prose to ensure consistent interpretation of extension features.
• Extensions supporting diagnostic communication, flashing and executing diagnostic jobs, control of measurement equipment, HMI communication, units and internationalization, environment access and utility functions (features built to meet use cases from Part 1).
• Requirements to enable tool interoperability and tester-independent transfer of test-sequence logic across suppliers, OEMs and service tools.

Typical use and users

Used by automotive test-engineering teams, diagnostic tool vendors, OEM validation and calibration groups, suppliers of diagnostic/flash tools and test automation software developers. Typical applications include exchanging formalized test sequences between organizations, automating diagnostic procedures, flashing and calibration sequences, and integrating test sequences into test and diagnostic toolchains.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 13209-3:2022 is Part 3 of the ISO 13209 series that specifies standard extensions and requirements for the Open Test sequence eXchange (OTX) format used to describe and exchange automotive test and diagnostic sequences.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the extension-level requirements, exhaustive data-model definitions for the OTX extensions, the syntactic entities (UML and XML schemas) and the semantics (UML activity diagrams and prose) needed so that extensions are interpreted consistently by tools and systems. The requirements derive from use cases in ISO 13209-1.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Automotive OEMs, suppliers, diagnostic and test-tool vendors, test engineers and anyone implementing or exchanging formalized test/diagnostic sequences in OTX format.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 13209-3:2022 (Edition 2, published June 2022) is the current edition and supersedes the 2012 edition ISO 13209-3:2012, which was withdrawn when the 2022 edition was published.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 3 of the ISO 13209 series (OTX). Other key parts are ISO 13209-1 (general information and use cases) and ISO 13209-2 (OTX core data-model specification).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: OTX, Open Test sequence eXchange, test sequences, diagnostic communication, XML schema, UML, automotive diagnostics, flashing, tool interoperability.
