Proteros Data System’s innovative Frurion™ range of test simulators for the card payment industry, covering ISO-8583 and APACS message standards, are designed to be easy and flexible to use and provide a framework for the exchange of financial transaction messages. They provide a unified interface for all test phases, allowing programmers to create test data quickly for component/unit testing, for test analysts to create messages that satisfy system integration testing and for business analysts to create data based on real-world scenarios for UAT.
A set of field and message definitions are supplied as standard and these can be cloned to create new definitions of any field and any message combination, which in turn allows the editors to be used to create messages and test data for: VISA, MasterCard, AmEx, IFSF, JCB, AS2805, Pulse, AEPS or any other ISO-8583 or APACS based messaging system. The utilities adapt themselves to your definitions within the data dictionary, without the need for new software upgrades.
No need to worry about calculating bitmaps as this is all done for you and special definitions like TLV are provided as standard attributes that are available to be assigned to a field.
A set of standard tools allow the user to generated expected results from test data and an in-built compare utility allows any tester to compare expected and actual results for a quick and efficient problem determination.
