I once worked on an EMV data preparation system, where I was required to carry out a load test on the system. To do this, I needed to test with lots of EMV cards.
But there was a problem.
Prior to now, developers and software testers tested with very few cards, just 1 to 10 cards. What I needed were lots of cards, about 1,000 to 10,000 cards, for this load test.
