• ACI Worldwide have their own java SDK, the Postilion SDK, which is used for developing applications that interface with the main Postilion system, so this SDK is mostly used for developing components.

• Testing the developed software using the following:

o Python as well as MS-DOS scripts.
• I’ve also on occasions investigated defects by debugging components to track defects. I’ve used remote debugging as well as the SQL Server 05 profiler.
