TSYS and Acquirer Systems have launched Astrex, a new testing solution that they say simplifies the EMV certification process for value-added resellers and integrated software vendors.

According to a press release, the solution offers developers a streamlined approach to integrating with TSYS' current testing environment, in which Astrex provides a card brand simulation tool with real-time results. The efficient testing functionality cuts EMV certification time in half, the companies said.

As an EMV payments simulation platform, developers can test a full range of transactions and network scenarios while eliminating complex integration steps and reducing overall EMV implementation costs.
