BRIDGE:test

BRIDGE:test is Level Four's advanced testing solution that enables fully automated end-to-end testing of live XFS-based ATM software applications that connect to an online payments host. The product is aimed at financial institutions and payments processors who run networks of Microsoft Windows-based ATMs using the CEN/XFS industry standard open interface.

BRIDGE:test has been selected by many of the world's leading financial institutions and payments processors across Europe, North America and the Middle East. They are using BRIDGE:test to drive cost savings and productivity gains throughout their networks, while ensuring the highest possible level of customer service at their ATMs.

Much more than just a test tool, BRIDGE:test empowers ATM deployers to take control of their ATM application and, as a result, demand the highest level of service from their suppliers.

How does BRIDGE:test work?

BRIDGE:test loads ATM software into a separate Windows partition to the main test application. The original software stack (e.g. the load CD) is loaded, believing it is resident on a real ATM. BRIDGE:test provides a simulated set of XFS-compliant service providers that interface with the graphical user interface and regression testing tools within the solution

Once connected, BRIDGE:test allows the user to control the ATM application through the open XFS layer using an intuitive graphical user interface. Each XFS device is modelled "in software" allowing the setting of complex device failure conditions to use software simulations rather than trying to recreate these at the real ATM. As a result, triggering hardware faults is as easy as clicking a check box.

BRIDGE:test is typically a server-based installation, allowing all relevant stakeholders in both business and technology to access the virtual ATM on their desktop PC through a simple desktop shortcut. Currently BRIDGE:test is being used by development, testing, business, marketing, training and audit/operations areas - testament to its wide applicability

BRIDGE:test has three key areas of functionality
