Thank you for using GlobalTester. GlobalTester provides a platform to manage testing and analysis of smart cards and e-passport applications.
GlobalTester is delivered as a set of plug-ins for the popular Eclipse platform and allows the execution of a set of test scripts structured with XML and defined using Java Script. It is based on Open Source projects such as Smart Card Shell and supports the GlobalPlatform standard.
GT TestManager can be used to create and execute individual test suites or in automated batch processing – typically required during final acceptance testing. An intuitive easy-to-use interface improves productivity. A simple visual “pass / fail” notification system immediately indicates where non-conformities have been detected.
GT TestManager is the base platform for the application of the test tools of the GT Prove family. GT Prove IS allows users to prove the conformance of e-passport inspection systems, GT Prove ePP enables organisations to test e-passports for conformity. Both test tools prove conformity with the latest test standard. Other GT Prove test suites are planned. Users are welcome to develop their own test suites.
Interoperability between e-passports and readers is of paramount importance. Issuing authorities and passport manufacturers must rely on solutions which conform to the international standards for e-passports. ICAO published test specifications for BAC passports, while the German BSI and the French AFNOR published test specifications for EAC passports. Together these tests have become the test standards for worldwide e-passport conformity testing.
The GT Prove ePP allows organisations to test e-passports for conformity with the latest conformity testing standards. With GT Prove ePP, users can prove the conformance of electronic passports according to ICAO RF Protocol and Application Test Standard for e-Passports, part 3 and AFNOR/BSI EAC test specifications.
GT Prove ePP test software incorporates an ISO 14443 reader simulator device, an EAC passport API software and a scriptbased test suite. The EAC passport API together with a test reader device simulates an inspection system and provides all cryptographic functions to read any e-passport. The test scripts can be executed in an automatic batch process or individually.
The GT Prove IS enables users to prove the conformance of e-passport inspection systems with the international standards for electronic passports. Incorporating the world's first real-time EAC passport simulator, the GT Prove IS provides users with a high-performance, reliable and extensible test tool for e-passport inspection systems worldwide.
With GT Prove IS, users can now prove the conformance of inspection systems according to TR-03105 part 5. This test tool incorporates an ISO 14443 card simulator device, EAC passport simulator software and a script-based test suite. The EAC passport simulator works as a unique “golden reference”. The test scripts can be executed in an automatic batch process or individually. The scripting language provides full transparency to the test engineer and is flexible to be able to add user-specific test cases quickly.
