ICC Solutions is delighted to announce the immediate availability of the ICCSimTMat Visa Contactless Automation Test Suite – giving vendors greater flexibility and faster testing when using the Visa Contactless suite.

The new Visa Reader/Terminal Test Plan v2.2c has been created as part of Visa’s initiative to encourage test automation and allows for both automation and manual testing. It incorporates Visa contactless v2.2c and Visa ODA test v1.3c.  

​

In order for the vendor to make full use of the automation a Reader controller (defined by Visa) needs to be developed which will communicate with the test tool in order to receive the terminal config for the test being undertaken and to return the result.
