Automating retail POS software testing

Automating POS testing and quality assurance, including secure payment transactions and interface to back-end systems, requires an automation system with advanced computer vision to emulate user behavior and verify system outputs. An effective automated retail software testing solution also integrates with a physical robotic system to trigger secure payment activities.

With this configuration, the automated software testing solution can validate POS terminal functionality, connected peripheral performance, and interactions with back-end store and chain systems, such as inventory management, customer relationship management, supply chain, enterprise resource planning, and more.

Automated POS testing solution

Ensuring timely deployment and reliable operation of retail POS system updates requires advanced automation for POS testing. Eggplant Test’s model-based approach achieves higher test coverage by automating exploratory testing and focusing on areas most prone to defects. It also automates regression testing to find bugs that functional or unit testing can miss. Eggplant uses computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and a fusion engine to test POS systems at the graphical user interface (GUI) level, regardless of the codebase or operating system.
