Student : Adrien-Marie EnaultDesign of a Generic Testing Tool for an Hospitality SystemThis thesis examines several solutions to create a generic testing tool to help developers in compare different algorithm in an hospitality system. The thesis examines several possibilities in order to make a tool that is easily extensible.The tool was implemented in C++ and Java/JSP for the user interface part. The developed system sticks to the standard architecture of its environment.A testing sequence is defined, and among its variants, the simplest possible sequence, testing one algorithm at a time, is found to be the most effective for speed, flexibility and because it allows to test a wide range of criteria. A system named fetcher system is designed to provide maximum extensibility and its performances are gauged, and found to be satisfactory in terms of extensibility. The use of pairs of key/value to store the results of the test is deemed to be more practical than use of plain text or custom database structure.
