Level Four updates its ATM Channel Development Suite

July 7, 2005

LONDON - Level Four, a provider of ATM and POS testing and development software, launched Release 2.7 of its flagship ATM Channel Development Suite, according to a news release. Release 2.7 enables customers worldwide to comply with updated specifications from ATM manufacturers and incorporates the latest updates to the EMV standard. It contains an improved user interface, additional support for foreign languages and advanced new capabilities for the automation of ATM regression testing.

Regression testing is essential when deploying new ATM services, as it checks that existing ATM capabilities are not compromised by the addition of new ones. The testing enhancement uses the bank's existing testing policy and specifications, importing the organization's testing data and using it to minimize the amount of effort for a set of tests to be executed. It provides documented test output and highlights differences against a base-lined set of results. It also provides a mechanism for automatically documenting test scripts.

Release 2.7 also enables customers to adhere to manufacturer specifications, including Diebold's 912, NCR's NDC+, and Wincor Nixdorf's ProCash/NDC or ProCash/DDC, and specification updates such as those relating to the EMV mandate.

Level Four will migrate existing customers to the new release.
