Paragon provides e-payment testing hub for Ukrainian processor

August 14, 2013

Ukrainian Processing Center, a provider of ePayment processing and outsourcing in the Ukraine, has chosen the Web FASTest platform from Paragon Application Systems to serve as the hub of its e-payment testing and development program.

UPC member banks conduct online precertification testing and online certification using Web FASTest. Outside developers use the software development kit in Web FASTest to develop and test their own ISO 8583 financial message formats. Internally, UPC users employ Web FASTest for functional testing and plan to use it for regression testing, stress testing and building detailed testing reports.

"Conducting bank and client certifications host-to-host with Web FASTest has reduced the time required by our test engineers for customer support," said Vladislav Huzov, head of new technologies for UPC.

He said that during the certification process, the user can analyze the results of test cases and identify and correct errors without significant involvement by UPC engineers.

Huzov said that UPC also used Web FASTest to develop a new approach for interacting with the company's outsourced software vendors.

"We prepare all the necessary tests and detailed test descriptions in advance and our vendor connects with Web FASTest to test their code ... at the end of the development process we have stable code and the testing process takes less time."

"We are very pleased to have Ukrainian Processing Center as our first Web FASTest user in Eastern Europe," says Doug Daggett, EMEA sales manager for Paragon. "With Web FASTest ... you always have real-time visibility into what all your testers are doing. The end result is increased efficiency, more knowledge and increased control in e-payment testing operations."
