Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tecto?

keyboard_arrow_down

Tecto is an advanced automated test platform designed to simplify and accelerate EMV Level 3 terminal certification for acquirers, processors, and terminal vendors. It validates payment terminals (POS, mPOS, ATM, and SoftPOS) against payment scheme specifications, including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and regional networks. Tecto helps streamline the certification process, reduce testing timelines, and ensure compliance with EMVCo and payment brand requirements, enabling faster time-to-market for payment terminals.

What is EMV Level 3 testing?

keyboard_arrow_down

EMV Level 3 (L3) testing validates the integration between a payment terminal and an acquirer's host system, ensuring proper transaction processing in accordance with the payment scheme's requirements.

Level 3 testing verifies end-to-end transaction flows, including authorization requests, responses, online and offline transactions, and compliance with network-specific rules.

How does Tecto automate the EMV L3 certification process?

keyboard_arrow_down

It automates EMV L3 certification by avoiding manual test execution and providing pre-configured test cases aligned with payment scheme requirements.  

It automatically generates test transactions, validates terminal responses against expected behavior, and produces comprehensive reports compliant with EMVCo L3TG (Level 3 Test Guidelines) standards.  

Tecto's validation engine identifies issues in real-time, enabling faster debugging.

Is Tecto an EMVCo L3TG-qualified tool?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes, Tecto is qualified under EMVCo's Level 3 Test Guidelines (L3TG) program. This qualification ensures that Tecto meets the rigorous standards set by EMVCo for Level 3 terminal testing tools. Being L3TG qualified means that certifications performed using Tecto are recognized and accepted by payment schemes and certification labs worldwide, giving you confidence that your testing process meets industry standards.

Does Tecto include a host simulator?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes, Tecto includes an integrated issuer host simulator that enables end-to-end EMV L3 testing without requiring a connection to an actual production environment.

The simulator mimics issuer host behavior, generating appropriate authorization responses based on configurable rules and test scenarios.

What kind of support and training are available?
