Host Testing Solution

Simplify complex payment host testing processes and operations.

Test and simulate transactions processing in payment infrastructure host systems.

Host Testing Solution

Identify issues by testing multiple components.

HTS (Host Testing Solution) is a complete host and application programming interface (API) test solution for acquirers, issuers, payment schemes and processors, combining our payment test engine with excellent user experience and test intelligence features. It provides a flexible platform for anyone looking for a user-friendly, scalable and web-based solution for payment host testing.

HTS simplifies complex testing processes and operations to identify issues earlier and adapt faster. Using simulation and automation, HTS tests multiple components in the payment infrastructure.

Key benefits

  • Check consistent host quality by performing continuous testing (regression and functional).

  • Maximize test coverage using multiple simulation modules.

  • Simplify the analysis and remediation of defects. 

  • Automatically analyze messages (interpretation and validation).

  • Support for multi-environment connections.

  • Benefit from clear and flexible configuration.

  • Remove dependencies to external systems.

Key features

  • Support for multiple payment messages over multiple protocols (EMV®, contactless, eCommerce, etc.).

  • Flexibility to adapt to different customer scenarios using a configurable project framework and customized test plans on web-interface.
  • Thorough protocol interpretation, including EMV details and ISO field interpretation.

  • Support for real-time and instant payments automated testing based on ISO 20022.

  • Collaboration platform that supports multi-team testing.

How it works.

Any payment host relies on external systems, which require either connectivity to other active components or a way to simulate them. HTS comes with multiple simulation modules to maximize test coverage and remove dependencies on different interfaces.

What's in the box.

Transaction generator.

  • Simulate any payment transaction injection (ISO 8583, API JSON, API XML).

  • Test the authorization and processing of a financial message (ISO 8583 and API).

  • Create visual message exchange representations, helping teams troubleshoot issues faster.

Authorization simulation.

  • Simulate any part of the payment ecosystem authorizing transactions.

  • Validate messages and generate response for different layers of the payment network.

  • Support for global brands and many other local protocols.

  • Detailed message interpretation and cryptography support (e.g. EMV).

Key functionalities.

Project management.

  • Customer on-boarding.

  • Test selection automation.

  • Project step review.

  • Project lifecycle.

  • Detailed and overall project reports.

Test Case management.

  • Comprehensive module for creation, management of test cases.

  • Efficient Test Data management.

  • Test plan lifecycle process.

Test execution.

  • Card emulation reducing inventory/delivery management.

  • Simulation of all external parties.

  • Scheduled automatic execution and validations reducing manual intervention.

  • Expansion to new use cases.

Knowledge and collaboration.

  • Documentation and test plan repository.

  • Contextual help on certification process.

  • Automation of common issues resolution.
