EDS

EDGE Travel Management System

EDGE is a web services based system that connects the eTravel travel management system to GetThere's online booking engine (OBE) via a single sign-on (SSO) process with deep-linking capability into the OBE web pages with seemless returns to the eTravel site upon completion of a booking. EGDE also has PNR modification capability for Sabre, Worldspan, Apollo and Galileo GDSes via integration with PASS XX/1, a third-party XML based multi-GDS PNR transaction Server. BITS personnel were responsible for implementing the GetThere OBE SSO as well as the PASS XX/1 integration. The system is written in C#/.NET/SQL Server 2005.

NMCI Survey

In 2000 EDS won a multi-billion dollar, multi-year contract to provide IT equipment, support and services to the Navy and Marine Corp. The NMCI Survey is used to determine the level of customer satisfaction that the Navy and Marine Corp are experiencing with EDS. The survey is the crucial component in assessing the amount of contract incentive awards – worth several hundred million annually - that EDS will receive from the Navy. The application is web based on an IIS/ASP platform with a SQL Server 2000 database.

BITS provided the key database developers who designed the database and wrote the scripts for configuring DTS packages and batch jobs. Wrote stored procedures in T-SQL to optimize performance and implement survey- sampling algorithms. BITS also wrote the reporting subsystem in a classic ASP 3.0/ISS 5. Charting is rendered using Intrchart, which provides greater functionality and flexibility than Microsoft's Office Web Components (OWC) charting facility.

Defense Travel System (DTS)

DTS seamlessly automates the three DoD travel processes: authorization, reservation and voucher filing. Using DTS, travelers are able to generate travel authorizations, make trip reservations, and route travel requests for approval, all from their desktop workstation. The system is paperless, uses DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates for digital signatures as required, and is totally web-based.

BITS Automation Specialists wrote numerous scripts in Test Script Language (TSL) as well as various multi- purpose, reusable TSL functions to automate test scenarios for DTS. Scripts communicate with the SQL Server DB via ODBC to obtain parameter and data values to drive the scripts.

BITS built a C# .Net client utility to exchange XML files with the server via Web Services as well as an HTTPS-to-Java-servlet interface. BITS also built numerous client modules in C# .Net and VB.Net as part of the Automation Manager (look and feel of SQL Server Enterprise Manager) to implement capabilities of the Test Automation Framework. The back-end DB is SQL Server 2000 and communication is via ADO .Net.

Skills: Xhtml, XML, XSLT, XPath, C# .Net, VB .Net, ADO .Net, HTTPS, TSQL,

Composite Health Care System II (CHCS II)

As the target healthcare system of the Department of Defense (DOD), the Composite HealthCare System (CHCS) II is often described as a “system of systems.” CHCS II provides a structured framework for accessing and integrating medical information for patients. CHCS II is the Military Health System (MHS) Computer-based Patient Record (CPR). It provides the DoD with an enterprise-wide system, governed by universal standards integrating data from multiple sources, and displaying the data at the point of care.

As part of process improvement, BITS was instrumental in the Test Group’s ability to collect and report on test execution by participating in the design and development of the ‘Test Team Server’. Collection of test results was achieved through the automation of existing test procedures (MS Word/VBA), parsing and loading the results (C# .Net) into a database (SQL Server 2000). A web site (ASP/html/Java Script/Stored procedures) provided the Reporting capability.

BITS personnel also performed comprehensive gap analysis (Microsoft VBA) of requirements repository and manual and automated test procedures to ensure test coverage.
