Used by the best EMVCo laboratories

KEOLABS’ SCRIPTIS Analog and Digital test suites for EMVCo testing allow validation of the analog and digital-level implementations in Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) and Proximity Coupling Devices (PCD) for use in payment applications.

The testing solutions are complemented by a complete test bench that includes EMVCo testing accessories, which are developed in strict conformance with their testing standards.

SCRIPTIS: an intuitive testing environment

SCRIPTIS™ software is a complete, open and simple testing environment. It runs on the user’s PC and allows easy control of a range of software/hardware solutions designed for testing conformance of smart cards, card readers, related components and systems in accordance with relevant industry standards.

KEOLABS’ test suites are used in SCRIPTIS™ testing environment which facilitates testing with automation features such as visual cues and aids for manual testing, or robot integration for fully automated testing. SCRIPTIS provides full visibility of test results including logs and traces of communications between the test bench and the tested device.
