The Centinel Testing Facility is available to assist your integration efforts, by performing various predefined integration tests based on best practices. Once you've completed integration with your site, you can begin testing by sending messages to the testing facility using defined test cases. Each test case will generate a unique response that your integration should be able to account for, and handle properly. The recommended actions are also included within the test cases.
To support end-to-end certification requirements of eCommerce systems, the Centinel Test environment supports the various test case outcomes to be invoked using the following value:
Personal Account Number (PAN) = CardNumber
To run any other test cases that are not supported in this guide, please contact your Cardinal Activation Manager.
Additionally, if you run into any error messages in the following table during testing, the cause of the error is displayed on the right side of the table. Please note that specific ErrorNo and ErrorDesc are dependent on the Thin Client that is used.
