Few weeks ago the Canadian payment brand Interac has released a new version of their contactless specification for smart payment terminals.
The update of the contactless specification comes with new documents to be submitted for the certification of new contactless card readers.
To deploy at a global scale, payment terminal providers must develop their products in compliance with the international payment standard EMV. EMV technology ensures interoperability and secure payment transactions, contact or contactless. EMV contactless specifications are structured into different books, describing the requirements and functionalities that POS systems must comply with to be approved.
Bancontact is a very popular payment method in Belgium for the purchase of goods and services, either online or in-store. It offers secure and reliable debit card payments.
Not to be mistaken with EFTPOS (Electronic Fund Transfer at Point of Sales), eftpos is the Australian electronic payment system, created 40 years ago to provide australian citizens with an electronic mean of payment for in-store purchase of goods and services, and more.
The development of embedded software is a crucial step in the overall payment terminal manufacturing process. Payment devices can only be deployed when they prove compliance with international payment and security standards. Hence the integration and approval of EMV payment software is at the core of terminal manufacturers’ concerns.
There are many stages in a payment terminal life cycle, and payment solution providers must define their strategy at the earliest stage. Make the right decisions at the right time.
Automation test versus manual testing campaign : the big deal !
Automation testing uses automation tool to execute tests cases. Few manual involvement is required while executing an automated test suite which handles suitable software to test the program to be delivered to customers.
