The PSIA has announced an enhanced set of test tools for the PLAI specification. The driver behind updating the tool is to make it as easy and intuitive as possible for vendors to adopt the standards. “Effective test tools are critical for a specification to achieve true interoperability,” said David Bunzel, Executive Director of the PSIA. “We recognised that as the PLAI specification has evolved we needed to advance our tools to complement it.”
Ensuring specification compliance
The PSIA collaborated with Cruatech, a Dublin, Ireland-based firm, which has been active in the security industry, working with a wide range of customers on software services and integrations. Cruatech not only upgraded the tools to support the current version of the PLAI specification, but also added an enhanced user interface, which provides more information and in a graphical format, which will be easier to use by developers.
Cruatech will provide support for the tools to assure they effectively comply with the PLAI specification. “By creating a standard process and backing it up with code samples and documentation we hope that manufacturers will achieve compliance and begin seeing the commercial benefits sooner,” said David King, Managing Director of Cruatech.
