simulator evolved out of a unique
blend of in-depth payments domain
knowledge and impeccable track record.
Developed by Expleo, the web based
tool offers a comprehensive end-to-end
solution enabling card issuers, acquirers
and network providers to carry out
financial transaction testing.
A highly configurable, EMV compliant
ISO 8583 message simulator, FaXimmé
can be easily and rapidly deployed for
your testing needs.
FaXimmé – Message
simulation simplified
FaXimmé is a comprehensive and end-to-end functional and
performance testing solution enabling card issuers, acquirers and
network providers to carry out financial transaction testing.
The competitive edge
FaXimmé stands out in terms of certain
unique features in testing of card
authorization messages:
y
y Functional & performance (Stress,
Soak, Spike etc.) tests
y
y Allows users to configure any new
ISO 8583 schema derivative
y
y Support for multiple instances to
perform parallel testing in multiple
acquirer/issuer environments
y
y Cryptographic processing for PIN
encryption, data encryption, dynamic
key exchange, ARQC/ARPC
y
y Facilitates import and export of the test
data profiles – cards, merchants and
transactions
y
y Compare an actual response with
an expected result
y
y Iterative execution and execution from
Excel
y
y Access enabled with multiple
hierarchies of users
y
y Reporting module for no. of transactions
executed, passed and failed per user
with multiple filters
FaXimmé simulates request and response
messages for all ISO 8583 transaction
types – authorization, financial, card
update, reversal, reconciliation and net-
work management functions including
dynamic key exchange.
