Ascert Makes Level 3 Testing for Visa Available to Customers
EMV level 3 testing is the testing of a transaction from an EMV terminal card acceptance device to the acquirer's system and on to payment authorization systems.
SAUSALITO, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ascert has released the latest version of its Visa test driver with added EMV features. This new functionality has been included in the VersaTest Visa driver package to allow it to produce EMV Level 3 Online Message Logs (OML) when simulating the Visa network, in a manner compliant with the latest requirements from EMVCo & Visa. VersaTest is the first Level 3 OML-compliant Host Simulator published in Visa's list of "EMVCo-qualified and Visa-confirmed L3 test tools".
EMV level 3 testing is the testing of a transaction from an EMV terminal card acceptance device to the acquirer's system and on to payment authorization systems. Ascert's Visa driver allows a virtual representation of the Visa network to be created and used to test the acquirer's acceptance of EMV Visa card originated transactions from a merchant's terminal via the acquirer's internal systems and on to Visa without physically connecting to the Visa network.
A typical use would be testing an EMV contactless POS transaction from a merchant using a Visa contactless card. Once the test data has been run, the logs can be extracted and submitted to Visa as part of a certification process. The Ascert Visa Driver enables companies that test their Visa transactions to completely automate the process from start to finish, with auto error identification, and prescriptive fixes detailed right down to the bit level.
The updated Visa test driver can be used with VersaTest either on-premises or via the company's popular cloud-based certification and testing service, Ascertified (http://www.Ascertified.com). A growing number of companies have created a hybrid of both cloud and self-hosted options, increasing flexibility for both internal users and external partners.
