CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Level Four Americas LLC, supplier of open standards ATM software, has released a plug-in module to its BRIDGE:test that enables users to interface with HP's Quality Center platform.
The platform is used to manage quality processes and automate software testing across an organization. Integrating its ATM specific tests into HP's quality assurance solution yields a more comprehensive enterprise quality-control platform and methodology for ATM departments within retail banks, Level Four says. BRIDGE:test, which enables end-to-end testing of live XFS-based ATM software applications, with the HP Quality Center allows users to have an integrated view of their ATM-software-application testing alongside other enterprise-wide test and quality-assurance processes. According to Level Four, the functionality helps reduce costs associated with traditional ATM testing. The is said to help users manage the release process and make more informed release-timing decisions. The module ensures that new ATM functionality can be deployed quickly and cost effectively, the company says, which is increasingly important as the release cycle of ATM software is shorter and new releases tend to emerge several times a year. "Since we are entering an era of fundamental change for ATMs, it is important to provide financial institutions with the tools to ensure their ATM networks are adequately tested to guarantee optimal productivity," said Steven Lund, president of Level Four Americas LLC. "Providing users with an integrated view of their ATM software application testing module in line with their other test and quality assurance processes provides a more seamless approach to managing applications enterprise-wide."
