QuickStart | PAYTESTER®
Instance Creation using Catalog image
PAYTESTER® provides everything you need to maintain an integrated, reusable, and organized testing platform for your payment transactions. Our solution creates test suites and test cases to define the relevant data, transaction types, expected results and any other details needed to quickly create the test framework.
PAYTESTER® simulates any transactional delivery channel to your payment system, in addition to acting as an authorizer, branded network or core banking system. PAYTESTER® creates its own payment ecosystem with an isolated test environment, all without third party dependencies.
This directory contains the Terraform module to create PAYTESTER® instances using catalog input from the user.
Use this template to create PAYTESTER® instances using catalog image from your IBM Cloud account in IBM Cloud by using Terraform or IBM Cloud Schematics. Schematics uses Terraform as the infrastructure-as-code engine. With this template, you can create and manage infrastructure as a single unit as follows. For more information about how to use this template, see the IBM Cloud Schematics documentation.
