Visa Cross-testing Automation Specification or VCAS module pilots ACE-Client automatically:
Configurations are modified and sent to acceptance system.
TMS/Administrative settings are modified and sent to acceptance system.
Transactions are started on acceptance device
signals are updated during the transactions
During the execution of Automated tests, it is better to not manipulate ACE-Client. Between the tests, ACE-Client is fully available.
If you need us to investigate anything related to VCAS, use the File > Export mechanism to send us the information about the last transaction.
