scope:

This standard defines the framework of building household appliance test software system based on complex virtual instruments (CVIs) which are used for processing and displaying the sensor data from intelligent sensors and the related metadata. This framework provides the guidelines for CVI-based development process, in which CVI structure design covers management of sensor data and metadata, virtual instrument engine based on description of appliance testing ambient and test information, data formats of test data, and Representational State Transfer (REST ) service interfaces for CVI interactions; CVI mapping schemes describe the correspondence from test units to CVIs; CVI relations define the relationships between CVIs and describe the methods of extending and compositing multiple CVIs.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to advise and assist developers to adopt CVI-based development method in building household appliance test software system. Implementation of this standard simplifies software development process greatly on the basis of ensuring the quality of software and then resulting in high development efficiency. Implementation of this standard also achieves the standardization of household appliance test data, solves the interoperability and integration problems of test applications for household appliances, helps users share test data, and lays the data foundation for big data analysis.
