Sample Work with a Client – Customized Performance Testing

IssueVolume was continually increasing for UPC, and they needed to increase both their processing hardware and their disaster recovery location hardware. There also needed to be a mechanism to count requests sent and responses received, providing a detailed report on activity for every second of processing time.

Client Ukrainian Processing Center (UPC) – largest acquirer of credit card transactions in Ukraine – majority owned by an Austrian Bank

SolutionSoftjourn designed and developed a POS devices simulator as a multi-threaded service for Linux, with a Unix domain socket interface. This service creates virtual POS terminals and generates transaction traffic to a specified processing server. The service performs extended logging which aids in problem determination such as when the transaction server fails to process all the requests.

US based staff to oversee projects

I felt like there was a much more profesional approach, distance did not become an

issue, really the team understood the goals of the

project. A lot more collaboration rather than a

one way push of here is what you need to do.

J. MICHAEL BRADLEY, PRESIDENT AND

FOUNDERCentreBack Payments

RYAN POWER CEO PayPartners

The work Softjourn has done to this point has helped us streamline our operations

and has eliminated the need for us to hire customer

service reps. Through the efforts of softjourn we are

able to extend more control to our clients which allows

them to better manage their payment process.

What Do They Say About Softjourn

Softjourn was excellent at communication and kept the Project on track, even with scope changes. Daily Skype meeting and weekly calls contributed to a well-run project. Softjourn’s code delivery was clear and included details of the

changes that were added; this made it very easy to see

the progress being made.
