How to Integrate Hardware into a Full-Software Test Suite
summary
Doctolib integrated smartcard readers into its billing flow and automated hardware tests by recording APDU exchanges and emulating cards using a Kolabs Nomad Lab box. They intercept PC/SC calls with a Rust trampoline hook, drive mobile UI testing with Appium, maintain recorded images for ~130 Vitale and ~30 CPS cards, patch C libraries for reproducible crypto tests, and run nightly CI on a self-hosted runner; the emulation plus power‑cycle handling is reliable enough to automate certification.
