Ascert launches revolutionary tool for merchant certification, enabling distributed testing capabilities and significant time savings.

Ascert has expanded its VersaTest technologies to address many of the challenges inherent in electronic payment product testing. The new product is called VersaTest Certifier. VersaTest Certifier is a powerful tool for building true collaborative testing environments with acquirers, gateways, independent software vendors and other electronic payment partners.

"VersaTest Certifier provides a testing and certification environment with an easy to use graphical interface, push button test execution, and an automated error identification / reporting mechanism,” says Andrew Mould, Managing Partner at Ascert. “The system can support thousands of internal and external users simultaneously."

WorldPay US became the first North American company to adopt this new and revolutionary automated certification technology.

"This product allows WorldPay to provide our vendor partners another, easy-to-use method to certify payment products to our system,” said Patti Newcomer, Chief Marketing Officer for WorldPay US. It's fast, secure and it significantly reduces the amount of time and resources required for product certifications.“ Putting more power in our partners’ hands and making the certification process more streamlined is a win-win for everybody."

Using powerful testing automation technologies, VersaTest Certifier solves many of the pain points that are common in the certification process. Early users of the product have reported up to 50% time savings equaling less money spent and increased revenues by delivering products faster to the market and to their customers.
