Abstract:

Methods and systems to simulated a plurality of airline information systems (AISs) to test an AIS under test (AISUT), including to send and receive messages between the simulated AISs, and to send messages to and receive messages from the AISUT, in accordance with communication parameters associated with the corresponding AISs and AISUT. The AISUT and/or the simulated AISs may be stimulated to cause interaction with the AISUT, and resultant messages and information may be recorded. Stimulation may include controlling a web browser to interact with a web application of the AISUT. AISs may be represented as travel system objects, which may be associated with corresponding AIS-specific message handling and reporting parameters. Message processing logic may be configured to process messages, such as booking request messages, directed to a plurality of the simulated AISs, and the travel systems and the message processing logic may be modifiable independent of one another.
