Abstract
System and methods for generating one more tests to be performed on a payment device are provided. A vendor selects one or more features to be included in his payment device and provides that information to the system. The system analyzes the information and provides a list of tests to be performed on the reference payment device. In addition, the system also provides a list of one or more reference payment device configurations provided for testing purposes.
Claims19
A computer-implemented method for generating a test plan for a payment device, by a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the computer system, input indicative of one or more features associated with a payment device;
- verifying, by the computer system, that all mandatory features for the payment device are received;
- verifying, by the computer system, compatibility between the one or more features associated with the payment device;
- determining, by the computer system, one or more tests to be performed on a reference payment device, based at least in part on the one or more features associated with the payment device, wherein the reference payment device includes the one or more features;
- determining, by the computer system, one or more reference payment device configurations, the one or more configurations being selected based at least in part on the one or more features associated with the payment device;
- communicating, by the computer system, information about the one or more tests to be performed on the reference payment device to a testing device;
- and
- communicating, by the computer system, information about the one or more configurations to a configuration generation system.
A computer-readable storage medium including instructions which when executed by a processor embedded in a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method for determining a test to be performed on a reference payment device, the method comprising:
- receiving information related to a plurality of features associated with a payment device;
- verifying that the plurality of features include mandatory features associated with the payment device;
- verifying that the plurality of features are compatible with each other;
- determining one or more reference payment device configurations, based at least in part on the information related to the plurality of features;
- determining one or more tests to be performed on the reference payment device, based at least in part on the information related to the plurality of features;
- communicating the one or more configurations to a configuration generation system;
- and
- communicating information about the one or more tests for each of the one or more reference device payment configurations to a testing device.
A system for testing a reference payment device, the system comprising:
- a communication device configured to present a user interface to a user, the user interface configured to receive inputs, from the user, related to a plurality of features associated with a payment device;
- a server computer coupled to the communication device and including a database comprising information about a plurality of tests for the reference payment device, the server computer configured to use artificial intelligence to determine a list of tests, from among the plurality of tests, to be performed on the reference payment device, the list of tests based at least in part on the plurality of features associated with the payment device;
- and
- a testing device configured to receive information, from the server computer, about the list of tests to be performed on the reference payment device.
