Rail Reservation Automation Framework

We at Hexaware have a wealth of knowledge in developing and re-engineering various systems related to passenger retail and fulfillment for our Rail partners.

Test automation of TIS (Ticket Issuing Systems) is major challenge for Rail Reservation platforms. Basis our proven track record in rail domain, we have simulated and automated the standard passenger rail ticket issuing System. TIS can be part of a Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) or Ticket Wending Equipment (TWE) used by booking clerks or it can be WEB or Mobile based TIS also.

Hexware’s Rail Reservation Simulation and Automation Framework include:

  • Payment card interface
  • Ticket printing interface
  • Back end booking/reservation interface from TIS
  • Message base response on RS232, TCP/IP, MQ Based Protocols

How it all works

  • Hexaware Automation Framework is built using QTP by HP – That is supported by business process understanding.
  • Excel based configuration to support zero manual inputs and better process crystallization.
  • Robotized response integration via WEB UI on Ticket Vending Machines (TVM)

Testimonials

“We have a large installation of Business Objects with 4000+ reports across versions 5.x, 6.x and XI R1. When we looked at the option of planning for the Business Objects upgrade to the XI R3 platform the very first step we felt we had to undertake was to consolidate the existing environment. Hexaware provided exactly what we needed from the meta data angle and we completed the assessment of the entire environment in a 4 weeks timeframe, including reports in distributed desktops, by applying the tool. Hexaware saved us time, money and above all provided a more accurate means to de-duplicate and consolidate reports.” Project Manager-Leading Airline, UK
