Systems and methods of testing portable access devices are described. One method includes configuring, by an access device comprising a reader device, an access application on the access device for a first interaction
scenario based on a first configuration command received from a reader controller. The method also includes conducting, by the access device, the first interaction
scenario between the access device and a test tool; The method also includes receiving, by the access device, first interaction data from the test tool; The method also includes
processing, by the access device, the first interaction data, thereby generating first test output data; The method also includes providing, by the access device, the first test output data to the reader controller, which sends the test output data to the test tool, wherein the first test output data is compared to first expected output data to determine if the access device is capable of conducting the second interaction
scenario; The method also includes configuring, by the access device, the access application on the access device for a second interaction
scenario based on a second configuration command received from the reader controller; The method also includes conducting, by the access device, the second interaction scenario between the access device and the test tool receiving, by the access device, second interaction data from the test tool; The method also includes
processing, by the access device, the second interaction data, thereby generating second test output data; The method also includes providing, by the access device, the second test output data to the reader controller, which sends the second test output data to the test tool, wherein the second test output data is compared to second expected output data to determine if the access device is capable of conducting the second interaction scenario, The method also comprises the reader controller sending a first
signal to the reader device to turn off the reader device after the first interaction scenario is completed, and the reader controller sending a second
signal to the reader device to turn on the reader device to start the second interaction scenario.
