Collis Brand Test Tool now qualified by Discover

December 6, 2013

In order to process EMV transactions on the Discover Network, acquirers are required to execute the Discover D-Payment Application Specification acquirer end-to-end test cases. According to a company release, The Collis Brand Test Tool is now qualified to be used for certifying against the latest 12.2 specifications.

This qualification includes the D-PAS issuer response simulation, which allows testers to run the complete Acquirer E2E testing with the Collis Brand Test Tool, without the need for an external host simulation.

A key characteristic of the Collis Brand Test Tool is that it covers the test plans for all relevant payment scheme brands. The Collis Brand Test Tool has the ability to simulate any test card, the company said.

Using card simulation takes away the need for physical cards that can get corrupted or lost. The Collis Brand Test Tool provides clear user guidance and is fully aligned with the Discover Test Specifications. It also provides full insight into the technical details of the communication between the card and the terminal on the one side and between the terminal and the network on the other side.

This allows a tester to gain detailed insight in the behavior of the system from end-to-end. The final verdict of the test case will be shown immediately after running it, without manual efforts to combine results from different sources.
