Erste Group Card Processor (EGCP), the card processing arm of Erste Group, has licensed FASTest, a functional and regression testing solution developed by Paragon Application Systems, to speed up the migration from their legacy switch to BPC Bank’s SmartVista.
Paragon offered FASTest for the following financial message formats: Visa, MasterCard, SPDH, HISO 87, HISO 93, ATM and BIC ISO.
EGCP increased its productivity by testing unattended processes and receiving a report with the results. It also used the compare feature in FASTest to compare recent test results with previous results to confirm the system’s reliability.
EGCP chief technical officer, Boidar Pavlovi?, said using Paragon FASTest, they can identify performance weak spots which helps them optimise their system.
“The Paragon team support is timely and proactive, and the cooperation is excellent. We look forward to working with Paragon in the future,” Pavlovi? added.
