Level Four, a provider of automated ATM software testing solutions, has extended its partnership with Galitt, a provider of test solutions for transactional systems and EMV cards.

Under the terms of the deal, the companies will provide a testing solution for EMV compliant ATM networks on the Canadian market. The system is based on a combination between Level Four's ATM test solution BRIDGE:test and Galitt's KaNest-ICC EMV card simulator. The partnership will enable Canadian-based banks to benefit from this solution in their respective areas. In 2006, the companies entered an agreement for open-standards ATM testing in France.

The services of Galitt Canada are focused on the following areas: design and specifications of electronic payment systems, based on smart card or contactless card technologies, test strategy and test plan delivery, automated testing solutions implementation and project management, including coding, testing and roll-out activities management.
