HPI is a standardized programmatic interface for monitoring and controlling highly available systems. HPI enables applications and middleware to discover, access and manage hardware resources. Its goal is to allow portability of application and middleware software across a variety of hardware platforms.

The HPI Tester is an automated software tool that tests a Hardware Platform Interface (HPI) implementation for conformance with the Service Availability™ (SA) Forum HPI specification SAI-HPI-B.03.01 and SA™ Forum HPI-to-AdvancedTCA® Mapping specification SAIM-HPI-B01.01-ATCA.

The HPI Tester is designed for manufacturers of building blocks, System Integrators and Telecom Equipment Manufacturers who wish to test their HPI implementation during the development or quality assurance phase of their product life cycle.

The HPI Tester includes API Test cases that can be run with ATCA or MicroTCA systems as well as systems with a proprietory architecture. It includes ATCA-mapping tests that can be run with HPI implementation on ATCA systems. It will also include tests for other hardware platform technologies (e.g., MicroTCA) in future releases when the SA Forum develops specifications for mapping these technologies to HPI.
