Lexcel Solutions, Inc., the only end-to-end software solution for network pre-certification and validation, announced today Pemco Technologies, an innovative payment solutions provider to the financial industry, has implemented Lexcel TestSystem® Network with support of multiple formats and integrated use of Lexcel’s test scheduler and test case management utilities. This solution increases user productivity with automated unattended test scheduling and transaction analysis, allowing them to test more frequently and focus on in-depth analysis instead of manual testing. These efficient testing processes improve functionality and speed to market for new products while maintaining the high quality of service Pemco customers are accustomed to receiving.

The challenge for Pemco prior to implementing Lexcel TestSystem Network was to ensure a proper testing infrastructure for their migration to a new C++ authorization Host. The payment solutions provider required a common user interface, testing automation and an end-to-end solution for thorough validation of both authorization and settlement functionality.

Pemco has implemented Lexcel TestSystem Network providing users with an automated virtual environment that eliminates reliance on manual testing. Streamlining this process has resulted in faster more accurate testing procedures generating fewer faults in application code while increasing network uptime. The solution also aids Pemco in its efforts to comply with card association mandates and PCI guidelines within their test environment.

The installation of Lexcel Interface Manager centralized Pemco connection management and monitoring into a single source at the payment solution provider’s downtown Seattle headquarters. Lexcel Interface Manager includes an intuitive PCI compliant interface for efficiently reproducing environment variables and positively impacting user access levels.

In addition, Pemco continues to expand and create a robust end-to-end virtual testing environment utilizing Lexcel’s solutions for transaction generation, authorization, settlement and capacity planning.

“We are very impressed with the Lexcel TestSystem® Network software,” said Teri Ikehara, Pemco’s Director of Technology Resources. “We expect to greatly enhance our testing abilities by expanding our capabilities and also speeding up our testing and improving our accuracy.”
