Abstract
An electronic card reader testing system includes a robot assembly that is used to manipulate one or more credit cards, debit cards, gift cards, or similar electronic cards, and selectively swipe one of the electronic cards through a first slot of the electronic card reader and/or selectively insert (or “dip”) one of the electronic cards into the second slot of the electronic card reader. Operation of the robot assembly is managed by a control system. The testing system may also include a computer program that operably connects the control system of the robot assembly to a point-of-sale (POS) system, thus further automating the testing protocol.
