VirtualATM® = Maximum Channel Performance!

Paragon VirtualATM delivers the most complete, accurate and economical way of organizing, managing and automating your ATM testing assets – using virtualized versions of your own ATM applications - and making them available for your testers to use anytime, anywhere.

Bring Speed, Accuracy, & Efficiency to Your ATM Testing Operations!

As the owner/operator of a modern ATM estate, you know how important it is to deliver a superior customer experience on every transaction, no matter the time, day or night. This means you’re always on the lookout for ways to improve the availability, reliability, and security of your fleet.

The demands of today's sophisticated consumers, along with the rapid pace of change driving the payment industry, make it very difficult for organizations who rely on manual testing tools and processes to keep up.  Paragon's VirtualATM solution uses a centralized database, virtualization technology, flexible automation capabilities, and a RESTful API to boost the performance of resources in any ATM test lab.

Speed & Scale

Multiple automation options (including a published API) help run more tests in less time
Recorded or scripted tests can be run and rerun as many times as required
Automated regression tests can be scheduled to run at night or on weekends
Testing capacity can be scaled up by simply creating additional copies of virtual ATMs
The RESTful API facilitates easy integration with other enterprise systems, such as CI/CD pipelines

Productivity

Users are not tied to a physical test lab - VirtualATM enables them to test any time, from any location, 24x7x365
Increased testing accuracy, coverage, and consistency mean there are fewer errors and less retesting
Virtualized ATM image configurations can be easily copied, cloned, or modified as needed
Support for remote workers and cloud-based technologies help increase productivity (and reduce costs)
Users can test with NCR, DN, Hyosung, or any CEN-XFS compliant ATMs through a common interface

Collaboration

Developers and testers can easily share ATM images, test cards, scripts, and other test media
Digital test results and reports can be archived and shared across the organization as needed
Automation helps save testing time and effort, allowing resources to collaborate on solving more strategic problems
Multiple versions of virtualized ATM images can be easily shared, stored, and accessed whenever they are needed
Detailed reports, audit logs, and communication trace files promote collaborative problem-solving

Results & Analytics

A central database stores historical test results and reports as long as required
Detailed reports available for every test, including screen comparisons, key presses, fault conditions, etc.
Receipts can be saved and stored as testing artifacts
Detailed ATM-to-Host comms tracing and XFS message logging are available
The RESTful API can be used to generate custom reports

Control and Security

Centralized system administrative control improves operational security
Specific user roles and permissions are easily set up and maintained
VirtualATM version updates can be automatically distributed to all users to keep everyone in sync
Simplified fault testing of physical ATM components minimizes the risk of breaking expensive hardware
Flexible deployment options, e.g. on-prem or in the cloud, are available
