Systems and methods for automating test scripts for applications that interface to payment networks

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for use in testing a target application, including target applications for a payment network. One exemplary computer-implemented method includes deploying, to a computing device hosting a target application, an application monitor and executing a test script directed to the target application during a test interval, where the test script defines an input to the target application and at least one expected output when the target application receives said input. The method also includes identifying an observation when the output of the target application, in response to said input, is different than the at least one expected output and communicating an observation flag to the application monitor. The method further includes receiving forensic details associated with the computing device and generated within a predefined interval of the observation, and storing the forensic details associated with the observation.
