Application Testing

In the IP Commerce Sandbox...

By using Commerce APIs with the Toolkit Test Kit, developers get implicit access to the IP Commerce Sandbox. This commerce-enabled, application testing environment functions as an automated request/response system. It validates transaction messages and issues immediate feedback in the form of  responses designed to simulate interaction with real payment service providers. This allows developers to test the full range of payment services that they expect their applications to support.

The Sandbox ensures that request messages are well-formed, complete, correct and meaningful. Responses generated by the Sandbox detail the results of message validation and enable developers to take corrective action if required.

Application Certification

After your commerce-enabled application is fully tested, it must be certified by IP Commerce.

Certification ensures that applications comply with IP Commerce platform specifications and other service-specific standards, and are ready to properly transact on the Platform.

IP Commerce provides test scripts as part of the certification process. These scripts help developers send sets of messages to the Platform, the results of which must be submitted to IP Commerce.
