Electronic Point of Sale (ePOS) Test Automation

VNC Connectivity

T-Plan’s software connects to the System Under Test (SUT) using VNC (Virtual Network Computing). This approach is perfect for testing omnichannel retail environments because the software works with any system, regardless of its technology. A VNC server can run directly on the EPOS system or via a compatible KVM (AdderLink iPEPS) (Keyboard, Video, Mouse).

End to End Payment Routines

Automating the entire lifecycle of transaction processing by tracking user actions on ePOS (Electronic Point of Sale) devices and managing data input and export. Here’s how it works:

• Tracking User Actions: T-Plan records all interactions on ePOS devices, such as touch inputs, button presses, and swipes.
• Mimicking User Inputs: It translates standard desktop keyboard and mouse actions into equivalent EPOS commands, ensuring that automated actions replicate real user interactions.
• Managing Data: T-Plan automates the input of data into the ePOS system and the export of transaction data, such as sales reports and inventory updates.

Peripheral Devices Supported

Enhancing automation by supporting various peripheral devices like barcode scanners. Here’s how it works:

• Simulating Barcodes: T-Plan can create virtual barcodes that behave like real ones when processed, allowing for comprehensive testing without physical scanners.
• Using External Inputs: T-Plan integrates with actual barcode scanners. When a barcode is scanned, it’s converted into an image that the T-Plan automation engine reads and processes.

This ensures that all barcode interactions can be accurately tested and automated, providing a seamless experience for ePOS systems.

Easy Record and Playback Script Generation

Simplifying test creation by recording actions on the ePOS system and generating scripts automatically:

• Recording Actions: T-Plan records all user interactions with the ePOS system.
• Script Generation: It generates scripts based on these recorded actions, allowing for easy playback of the tests.

Create Tests & Execute Scripts Repetitively

T-Plan enables repetitive execution of tests, enhancing efficiency and coverage:

• Repetitive Execution: Run your tests on multiple machines simultaneously, such as overnight, to simulate various transaction processes.
• Multi-Currency Transactions: Simulate and test multi-currency transactions with a single click, ensuring the system handles different currencies correctly.
