Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 performance summary for the DEFRA/trade-exportscore-plp project, focusing on delivering key features, improving data integrity, and strengthening test coverage. Feature delivery centered on enhanced test data generation and parser tooling, including CSV support, improved documentation generation for parser models, and updates to the parser map service to handle empty values more robustly, underpinned by expanded unit tests (including Nisa Model 2). Major bug fix addressed packing list validation by enforcing that countryOfOrigin is a string and adding tests for non-string inputs. These efforts collectively reduced data ingestion errors, improved parser reliability, and strengthened maintainability.
