Sausalito, California (PRWEB) March 26, 2014
Ascert, an innovator in testing software technologies, continues to expand its certification and testing capabilities to meet changing payment technologies. As a testing provider for many financial institutions in Canada, Ascert has a long history of providing test and certification capabilities for the Interac exchange. The company recently released a new version of its VersaTest software to aid in testing contactless transactions.
First in use in 1997, contactless cards have continued to grow in usage and popularity. The contactless card contains a small radio frequency antenna and microchip inside that allows a transaction to be processed without having to enter a personal identification number or sign a receipt. Contactless technology is part of the Interac Flash debit card technology allowing users to make a payment instantly by holding the card up to a supporting card reader.
Utilizing the easy to use VersaTest interface, the enhancements to Ascert’s Interac Driver allow financial institutions to conduct testing of contactless card processing in an offline environment. The Ascert Interac Driver is used to test a variety of transaction operations and scenarios, including fraudulent use. The comprehensive testing capabilities allow users of the software to ensure that updates to card processing applications occur in an error-free fashion.
Used by QA testing and development groups in the payments industry for over 20 years to ensure the efficacy of transaction messaging, Ascert continues to lead the evolution of testing, utilizing the latest in market technologies.
