How to Automate Retail Point-of-Sale Testing

Automating retail POS software testing

Automating quality assurance testing of point-of-sale (POS) systems, including secure payment transactions and interface to back-end systems, requires an automation system with advanced computer vision to emulate user behavior and verify system outputs. An effective automated retail software testing solution also integrates with a physical robotic system to trigger secure payment activities.

With this configuration, the automation system can validate functionality for the POS system, any connected peripherals, and interactions of the POS system with back-end store and chain systems such as inventory management, enterprise resource planning, customer analytics, and more.

Automated POS testing solution

Ensuring timely deployment and reliable operation of retail POS system updates requires advanced test automation. Eggplant Test’s model-based approach achieves higher test velocity and coverage by automating regression testing to find bugs that functional or unit testing can miss. Eggplant uses computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and a fusion engine to test POS terminals and systems at the user experience (UX) level. Using robotic process automation, Eggplant identifies and prioritizes testing in areas most likely to have defects.
