JacTravel validates their API system upgrade with Triometric's new XML Comparator technology

Egham, Surrey, UK (ots) - JacTravel, the UK-based wholesaler best
known for its extensive range of online hotels in Europe, USA, Canada
and Asia, has validated their new API system for a new hotel booking
platform using Triometric's new XML Comparator technology.

The process involved capturing live transactions, replaying sets
of transactions against parallel test environments for old and new
APIs, comparing the results and reporting on any discrepancies. This
approach allows development teams to understand exactly what needs to
be done and simply deliver it.

JacTravel, their software supplier and Triometric have worked
closely to create a rapid develop-test-fix cycle that has
dramatically accelerated delivery stage testing.

"Changing XML based API platforms can impact client connections
and jeopardise bookings revenue" says Jonathan Boffey, Business
Development Director at Triometric and adds "Being able to accurately
check backwards compatibility of the new system to 100% gives
management the confidence to launch the new system without fear of
harming the business."

"It's all about delivering choice and performance in a competitive
travel market. We have made a significant investment in this new
service so we can offer our clients a much wider range of
destinations and hotel products while we deliver the information
faster than ever" says John Ames, IT Director at JacTravel and
continues: "Triometric had the right tools and expertise to work
closely with ourselves and our external software suppliers to help
finalise this new service."

Triometric's new XML Comparator technology provides the detailed
analytical capability required to test new APIs. Combined with Web
Services Analyzer's capability to deliver real time traffic analysis,
the service can be extended through go-live to provide unrivalled
diagnostics and operational management support in addition to
actionable business intelligence.
