Abstract
Automated testing and validation of integrated circuit cards for point of sale transactions is provided. A microcontroller can receive, via an automation script executed by a point of sale device, an instruction to select a slot in a card stack. The microcontroller can activate, responsive to the instruction, the slot to establish an electrical connection between an integrated circuit card in the slot and a proxy card in a terminal device. The microcontroller can receive, subsequent to initiation of a synthetic transaction, an indication that the synthetic transaction is complete. The microcontroller can deactivate, subsequent to receipt of the indication that the synthetic transaction is complete, the slot to terminate the electrical connection between the integrated circuit card in the slot and the proxy card to cause the terminal device to detect a card removal event without physical removal of the proxy card.
