Abstract
Error-testing of merchant messages to be used with point-of-sale (POS) devices is performed by an automated system that receives a formatted message to be tested from a merchant or an agent of the merchant, performs a computer-implemented evaluation of the message according to predefined message-validation rules to detect one or more errors, and notifies the merchant or the agent of evaluation results. The evaluation results include a listing of each detected error, if any.
