Full title and description

ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994 — Information technology — Open Systems Interconnection — Systems Management: Test Management Function — Technical Corrigendum 1 (ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994/Cor 1:1998). This corrigendum issues technical/editorial corrections that apply to the original 1994 edition of part 12 of the ISO/IEC 10164 series.

Abstract

Defines a systems-management function (the Test Management Function) used by application processes in centralized or decentralized management environments to support testing activities. The base standard provides generic definitions, services and functional units for the test management function but does not prescribe implementations, the detailed content of specific tests, nor a conformance-test framework; Corrigendum 1 supplies corrections to the original text.

General information

• Status: Published (corrigendum to an existing international standard).
• Publication date: Corrigendum published October 1998 (ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994/Cor 1:1998). Some catalog listings show 15 October 1998 as the publication date.
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in cooperation with IEC / JTC 1 (Information technology).
• ICS / categories: 35.100.70 (Application layer / systems management).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 of ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994 with Technical Corrigendum 1 issued in 1998 (Corrigendum document: edition 1.0).
• Number of pages: Corrigendum document: 2 pages. (The parent standard, ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994, is listed as 51 pages.)

Scope

This corrigendum applies to ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994 and contains corrections to the published text (technical or editorial) so that the Test Management Function specification is clarified or corrected without replacing the entire standard. The underlying part 12 defines the abstract behaviour, services and managed objects relevant to test management within the OSI systems-management framework; the corrigendum corrects errors in that text.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of the Test Management Function: purpose, role and high-level behaviour within OSI systems management.
• Specification of generic services and functional units that support test management interactions between management entities.
• Abstract models for managed objects and parameters used by the Test Management Function (references to MAPDU parameter syntax).
• Clarifications and corrections introduced by Corrigendum 1 (editorial/technical fixes to the original 1994 text).
• Explicit exclusions: the standard does not mandate implementation techniques, detailed test procedures, or a full conformance test methodology.

Typical use and users

Used by standards developers, protocol and systems implementers, test-tool vendors, system and network managers, and organizations building or assessing OSI-based management and test systems. The corrigendum is primarily of interest to implementers and test developers who need the corrected wording or technical clarifications from the 1998 correction.

Related standards

Part 12 is one part of the ISO/IEC 10164 series (systems-management parts) and relates to other parts such as ISO/IEC 10164-9, -11 and others in the 10164 family; several parts have their own corrigenda and amendments. The OSI systems-management family and corresponding ITU‑T Recommendations (where applicable) provide complementary specifications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Technical Corrigendum 1 (1998) to ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994, the part of the ISO/IEC 10164 series that defines the Test Management Function for OSI systems management. The corrigendum makes corrections to the original 1994 text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: The base part (10164-12:1994) defines the abstract Test Management Function — its services, functional units and managed-object models — and the corrigendum corrects or clarifies items in that published text. The standard does not prescribe implementations or detailed test procedures.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Standards bodies, implementers of OSI-based management systems, test-tool vendors, system/network managers and conformance test developers who need authoritative definitions and corrected wording for the Test Management Function.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum document (ISO/IEC 10164-12:1994/Cor 1:1998) is published and remains an official correction to the 1994 edition. The parent standard and its corrigenda should be checked on the ISO/IEC catalogue for any later revisions or withdrawals; available records list additional corrigenda (Cor 2:1999 and Cor 3:2002) applied to the 1994 edition. There is no indication in the corrigendum record that the corrigendum itself was withdrawn.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part 12 of the ISO/IEC 10164 series (Systems Management). The 10164 series contains multiple parts addressing different systems-management functions and managed objects.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Test Management Function, systems management, OSI, ISO/IEC 10164, corrigendum, managed objects, MAPDU, application layer.
