Even though the automation testing of functional payment libraries remains implementation-optional, it offers many advantages for POS providers. The automation of the testing process shortens the duration of the test sessions at accredited laboratories, hence reducing type approval fees. It also has a significant impact on software quality, enhancing the results reliability (pass criteria are checked automatically).
