Automated payment testing

Payment companies must repeatedly perform numerous tests to prove that their applications meet business requirements. They also have to meet the requirements of their customers and card payment brands such as Mastercard and Visa. The test setup included an area gantry along with a touchscreen finger mounted on the Z-axis to interact with the screen. In addition, linear axes were used to insert and remove chip and PIN cards from card readers.

The use of robots has the advantage of providing a repeatable mechanism for testing reliability. The robots have performed thousands of transactions at all times of the day and night. The testing solutions can operate completely unattended and test executions can be initiated remotely. The results are also easily accessible from anywhere in the world with internet access.
