Ascert

Ascert becomes a Founding Member of the U.S. Faster Payments Council to support advancement of Faster Payments in North America In an ideal world, payment transactions would be as seamless and transparent to end users as mobile texting, but the complexities of the U.S. payments system involving thousands of financial institutions, hundreds of nonbank payment service providers, and millions of individuals and businesses make that challenging. The U.S. Faster Payments Coun...cil (FPC) is a new, widely anticipated payments organization whose goal is a world-class payment system, where Americans can safely and securely pay anyone, anywhere, at any time and with near-immediate funds availability. By design, the FPC encourages a diverse range of perspectives and is open to all stakeholders in the U.S. payment system. As a forum for dialogue and problem-solving, the FPC tackles issues that inhibit adoption of faster payments by offering tools and recommendations that support the broader good while respecting members’ competitive or internal business practices. Ascert has been supporting Faster Payments Service (FPS) since before its original launch in 2008 for its UK service. Before the 2008 UK launch, Ascert developed the first self-certification simulator for FPS which was used by all the initial members of the interchange to conduct their pre-launch testing. Now,Ascert is excited to bring our wealth of experience to the U.S. Faster Payments Council To learn more about Ascert's experience with Faster Payments or if you’re designing the next set of faster payments rails visit https://testing.ascert.com/faster-payments.html or contact us at (415) 339-8500 and let Ascert be your guide.

Modern Test Automation for Legacy Applications -Green Screen, in 2018, seriously? It's hard to say what is most surprising. To be sitting in the last throes of 2018, writing an article about green screen applications. Or to have recently found myself deep in the bowels of 3270 and 6530 terminal data streams writing code to automate the testing of them. More accurately, that should really read 'porting code' - since my firm, Ascert, has had a TAL screen handling and testing l...ibrary since I first joined (and worked on it) back in 1997. Even then, I think most of us assumed it was the last chance saloon for a technology that would soon go the way of the dinosaurs, disco, and flares. But time and the future makes fools of us all I guess. Especially those whose predictions of the death of the mainframe have proved somewhere between premature and wildly inaccurate...Read the complete article at: https://testing.ascert.com//modern-test-automation-for-leg See more
