Mock of readers and smartcards
To test Keyple middleware without hardware (no smart card reader, and no smart card), the project provides:
- the ‘Stub’ plugin, which simulates a virtual smart card reader, with various specific characteristics.
- in addition, the simple examples demonstrating the implementation of Keyple include generators for simulating in Java and C++ the “static” behavior of a Calypso card or SAM to APDU commands.
Availability of a test kit with Calypso cards and SAMs
For “operational” testing, smart card reader solutions need to be integrated into the terminal with reader plugins (based on the Plugin API).
CNA sells test kits including various Calypso cards from all ranges (Prime, Light, Basic) and samples of test legacy SAMs.
