The issues and problems which are identified within this testing process, as well as feedback and engagement from the TPP community, are useful for ASPSPs… View journey This version was published 5 Years ago 20 Dec 2019 Stress Testing ASPSPs should conduct stress testing of their API interface as follows: Environments: Stress testing does not need to take place on the testing facility. However, stress testing should either be conducted on the production interface (and underlying production systems) and/or staging/pre-production systems which have similar infrastructure, so there can be certainty that the test results will… View journey This version was published 5 Years ago 20 Dec 2019 Wide Usage The Final EBA Guidelines have clarified that the wide usage requirements not only include the number of TPPs that make use of the dedicated interface but also the number of successful responses of ASPSPs to TPP requests the number of available TPPs and the results of testing, including the resolution of any issues that have… View journey This version was published 5 Years ago 20 Dec 2019 Obstacles EBA Guideline 5 places a requirement on ASPSPs to ensure that their dedicated interface does not create obstacles for the provision of services by PISPs, AISPs and CBPIIs.
