Understanding Card Test Cases
A card test case is a structured method for testing credit card information to ensure security and accuracy. It's crucial for identifying and fixing potential issues in payment processing systems.
Key Components of a Card Test Case
- Card Number: A valid credit card number for testing purposes.

- CVV/CVC: The Card Verification Value or Code used for authentication.
Steps to Create a Card Test Case
- Choose a Valid Card Number: Select a real or synthetic card number that is valid.
- Set the Expiry Date: Determine the expiry date for the card, which should be in the future.
- Generate a CVV/CVC: Create a valid CVV/CVC code associated with the card number.
