EVAL
The most comprehensive terminal EMVCo Level 2 test tool
The EVAL Test Suite is a range of test libraries designed for compliance testing of EMV debit/credit payment terminal applications. It is the most complete test suite for terminal and smart card manufacturers, laboratories, banks, services providers and application software developers, thanks to its comprehensive list of qualified test libraries: EMV Contact, Entry Point Book B, MasterCard PayPass™, Visa ADVT and American Express Expresspay.
EVAL Test Suite helps to ensure compliance with international specifications and optimise terminal development and risk management. The EVAL Test Suite also fully automates an EMV contact test session without manual management, thanks to FIME’s automation module.
The EVAL Test Suite is composed of an EVAL box, an EVAL software platform and several test libraries:
- EVAL Box: the card simulator connects to a PC running the EVAL Platform and to a probe emulating the smart card for contact testing or an antenna for contactless testing. FIME provides several EVAL boxes, depending on testing needs.
- EVAL Platform: Windows application to run test scripts of an EVAL library.
- EVAL libraries, each of them dedicated to a specific payment scheme:
• EMV Contact: test scripts library based on the latest EMV 4.2c Type Approval test plan by EMVCo;
• American Express Expresspay: test scripts library based on the latest American Express specification for contactless terminals;
• Visa ADVT: includes the test scripts for the latest Visa Acquirer Device Validation Toolkit test plan;
• MasterCard PayPass™: enables compliance testing of MasterCard PayPass Level 2 debit/credit payment terminal applications;
• EMV Book B Entry Point: includes the test scripts for the latest EMVCo Entry Point test plan. It is necessary to prepare for the approval testing of contactless application kernels.
