  • Publication number: 20210019853
    Abstract: A system for soliciting at least one bid from Mobility as a Service provider systems includes one or more processors and a memory in communication with the one or more processors that stores a front end module and a back end module. The front end module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to receive trip request information for a trip from a passenger via a user interface of a device. The back end module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to receive a bid from one of the MaaS provider systems in response to the trip request information and transmit the bid to the MaaS provider systems that did not provide the bid. The bid may include a price for providing transportation services for the passenger based on the trip request information.

  • Publication number: 20070061625
    Abstract: Functional testing of application software through exercising graphical user interface functions of the application software is automated and enhanced by providing one or more test data sets, one or more classes of panels in which each panel is described according to a set of graphical user interface objects and a set of corresponding methods, and one or more engines which encapsulate one or more test method calls or invocations. During testing and in cooperation with a functional test system, the test data sets are parsed to obtain individual test operations, which are then acting upon by invoking one or more of the engines in order to subject the application program to one or more test conditions. Results are logged, summarized, and optionally emailed to test personnel.
