Testing & Certification
Protocol Validation
Like the Mechanical Integration Questionnaire, Payter's Protocol Validation tests are adjusted dynamically based on the Integrated Solution's requirements and scope. Unlike the Mechanical Questionnaire however, Payter perform some customization of the Protocol Validation tests to specifically suit each solution.
Payter will provide your Protocol Validation Test Script during the course of an integration project. Completion is Mandatory for all solutions.
As outlined in Payment Industry Basics, Payter are responsible for enforcing Scheme rules, enforced upon us by the Acquirer, for any solutions that use Payter hardware. As a result, this is the only Mandatory step in the Integration Process.
Please Contact Us to request a Protocol Validation test, when you are ready.
Test Completion
- Payter will issue the Integrator with a test script in form of a spreadsheet. Each one includes the steps to recreate each test or scenario, and the expected outcome
- Payter ask the Integrator to complete each test and return the completed test script
- Payter will review the tests alongside associated terminal and system logs to either:
- Feedback required changes and request additional Testing
- Confirm success of Testing
Once testing is complete, Payter will issue a certificate of validation to the Integrator. It will detail the tests completed, any variations from the checklist, and confirm approval.
At this point, the Integration Solution is considered ready for Live Deployment.
