Test Tools

Collis CPA/CCD Test Suites

The Collis CPA/CCD Test Suites are part of our EMVCo test suite portfolio and allow to test whether a card works according to EMVCo standards for CPA and CCD. The tests can be performed during the development process of a card rather than at the certification stage. Therefore any errors which may come up during certification are discovered during development. The Collis CPA/CCD Level 2 Test Suites have been developed by Collis and are based on the Conclusion Test Tool.

For testing a CCD or CPA card, the Collis CPA/CCD Level 2 Test Suites act like a terminal. The Test Suites send commands to, and analyze the responses from, the CPA or CCD card. The test scripts include all information necessary for the test cases. In this way all types of interaction between card and terminal, and the behavior of the card, can be verified.

To perform the tests, the Conclusion Test Platform with the Collis CPA/CCD Level 2 Test Suites needs to be running. The CPA or CCD card needs to be inserted in the Smart Card Reader and the behavior of the card during the test will be logged. Decisions whether the CPA or CCD card has passed or failed in the test are made automatically.

The following test suites are available:
- Collis CPA L2 Compliance Test Suite
- Collis CCD L1 Compliance Test Suite
- Collis CCD L2 Compliance Test Suite

Collis EMV Level 2 Test Suite

The Collis EMV Level 2 Test Suite assists with (pre)certification of POS and ATM terminals for EMVCo Level 2 compliance. All terminals need to undergo EMV certification.

EMVCo developed specifications that define a set of requirements to ensure interoperability between smart cards and terminals on a global basis. EMVCo Type Approval testing is divided into two levels. EMV Level 1 covers physical, electrical and transport level interfaces. This testing is mandatory for the terminal hardware. EMV Level 2 covers payment application selection and EMV transaction processing. Level 2 is mandatory for the EMV kernel of the terminal application.

Level 2 approval ensures that the software in the terminal (payment application) can process the commands used in a transaction as defined by the EMV specification e.g. Application Selection, Data Objects List (DOL) retrieval, Application Cryptograms, Online/ Offline processing etc.

UL Transaction Security offers an easy-to-use, comprehensive test suite that will help you with your Level 2 pre-certification.

Collis VSDC Test Suite

The Collis VSDC Test Suite is part of our Visa Test Tool portfolio and allows testing of Visa card applications and transactions for full VSDC.

UL Transaction Security has implemented the test cases specified by Visa in scripts on the Collis Test Manager Platform. For practically every test case there is a script that runs fully automated to perform the checks as defined by Visa. Based on the test cases defined by Visa, UL Transacton Security developed the test suite to completely cover all transactions (Full VSDC) and test card image definitions.

The test suite is implemented in such a way that the tester can initiate the test by starting the test execution by a simple click and then following the on-screen instructions to complete the test. The corresponding test keys, PIN, etc are configured according to the test specification. However these parameters can also be easily modified if required. When the configuration is complete, the tool runs fully automated for that card and generates a report file for all the tests that are applicable for this test (except for test cases that block a card or an application, which the user will get a warning).

The Collis VSDC Test Suite has been confirmed by Visa.

Collis VCPS (qVSDC) Test Suite

The Collis VCPS qVSDC Test Suite is part of the Visa Test Tool portfolio and allows testing Visa card applications and transactions for qVSDC, MSD, and streamlined qVSDC.

For practically every test case there is a script that runs fully automated to perform the checks as defined by Visa. Based on the test cases defined by Visa, UL Transaction Security developed the test suite to completely cover all transactions (qVSDC, MSD, and Streamlined qVSDC) and test card image definitions.

The test suite is implemented in such a way that the tester can initiate the test by starting the test execution by a simple click and then following the on-screen instructions to complete the test. The corresponding test keys, PIN, etc are configured according to the test specification. However these parameters can also be easily modified if required. When the configuration is complete, the tool runs fully automated for that card and generates a report file for all the tests that are applicable for this test.

The Collis VCPS (qVSDC) Test Suite has been confirmed by Visa.

Collis VMCPS Test Suite

The Collis VMCPS Test Suite is part of the Visa Test Tool portfolio and allows testing against Visa’s requirements specification for mobile payments.

Visa has defined the test plan for VMCPS testing. Card vendors and card issuers can use the Collis VMCPS Test Suite to perform a pre-certification on their VMCPS payment products. Precertification means that the smart card conforms to all requirements in the VMCPS specification, and should not encounter any problems during approval by Visa International.

Collis M/Chip PayPass Test Suite

The Collis M/Chip PayPass Test Suite is part of the MasterCard Test Tool portfolio.This test suite covers M/Chip 4 Select, M/Chip 4 Lite, PayPass M/Chip, and PayPass MagStripe. All test card profiles are also included helping the testers to create appropriate test cards.

Similar to any other test tool in the Collis product portfolio, the test suite is implemented with automated testing in mind; therefore, testing is as simple as execution and following the on-screen instructions. All configurable parameters, such as keys and PINs, are organized in a logical way for easy accessing. Of course, a comprehensive test report/log will be generated for necessary inspections.

UL Transaction Security developed the test suite based on countless cooperation opportunities with chip manufactures/vendors. UL Transaction Security is confident that our test suite covers most of MasterCard’s official test requirements. The Collis M/Chip and PayPass Test Suite consist of a Test Specifications document and the corresponding Test Scripts.

Collis M/Chip Advanced Test Suite

Collis GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 Card Test Suite

The Collis GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 Card Test Suite tests the compliance of a card implementation against the GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.1.1. This test suite runs on Collis Test Manager.

Collis ISO7816 Terminal Test Suite

The Collis ISO7816 Terminal Test Suite will allow you to test the low-level behavior of virtually any smart card terminal. Using the Collis SmartLink Box (see section 2.5.3 for more detail), the information exchanged between terminal and smart card is intercepted and modified in order to invoke a specific test scenario.

This unique design of the Collis ISO 7816 Terminal Test Suite makes the tool work independent of smart card and terminal application. This test suite tests following terminal functions:

• Answer to Reset (ATR)
• Protocol Type Selection (PTS)
• Protocol tests for T=0
• Protocol tests

Collis ISO14443 Terminal Test Suite

The Collis ISO14443 Terminal Test Suite allows testing the compliance of a contactless card and/or reader with ISO 14443 by performing all relevant test methods as described in ISO 10373-6.

The basic components of a contactless transaction are the contactless reader (or Proximity Coupling Device (PCD)) and the contactless card (or proximity integrated circuit card – PICC). Before either can be released into the field they need to undergo tests specified in the global standard for contactless: ISO/IEC 14443.

The Collis ISO 14443 Test Suite offers you a complete solution in carrying out the tests described in ISO/IEC 10373-6. Along with all the test cases, it comes with the specified test apparatus (in the form of the Collis SmartWave Box). Combined, it allows you to perform the relevant tests in ISO 10373-6, and ensures you are on the right path to ISO 14443 compliancy and interoperability.
