HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. — Banelco, a leading ATM network in Argentina, recently licensed software from Paragon Application Systems to simulate and test its ATMs and interfaces with member organizations.
According to a news release, Banelco licensed Paragon's ATMulator for Diebold and NCR simulation, configuration and testing and FASTest for quality assurance and regression testing.
"Banelco took all the right steps to fully maximize the investment they made in the Paragon products and in a very short period of time they were able to make improvements in their processes," said Jim Perry, vice president of sales and marketing for Paragon Application Systems.
To ensure the accuracy of their ATM processing and adapt to ongoing mandates and release changes, Banelco needed comprehensive testing solutions. After a thorough evaluation, Banelco chose Paragon solutions based on the proven performance of the products and the local support from Dynamic in Argentina.
"Instead of conducting all of our testing directly with member organizations, we use FASTest to simulate and test these interfaces, which has significantly reduced our testing time," said Verónica González, quality assurance chief at Banelco. "The QA team uses Paragon software to execute their test plans and the developers are starting to use the products for their technical tests."
FASTest was tested on the network's BASE24 host payment system.
"We were able to import messages (audits) from BASE24, validate data in the messages or overwrite data for negative testing, have flexibility in the execution of transactions and conduct complete regression testing," González said.
