The Merrcury Engine, the software behind LetMeGo, is divided into “scopes“. The Marrley Scope, named in honor of Bob Marley, refers to the systems that handle all bookings created by travelers when they accept a lodging’s bid for their business. We have finished developing this scope, and it has passed its QA tests, so it is ready for implementation. However, a few other scopes must be completed before we can allow Marrley to go live.
These are some of the cool features of Marrley:
Streamlined bookings: Marrley is designed to support LetMeGo’s “no upsells” approach. In other words, when you book lodging through LetMeGo, you won’t have to slog through offers for travel insurance, magazines, etc.- LetMeGo will only offer guaranteed, lodging-confirmed bookings: Some users of the major online travel agencies have arrived at a lodging only to discover that the staff never received their reservation notice. In order to avoid these unpleasant surprises, LetMeGo requires lodgings to manually confirm bookings.
- No tolerance whatsoever for lodgings that overbook and thereby inconvenience our travelers.
And the tech features:
- Kick-ass security: Not only will LetMeGo be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, but we go above and beyond its requirements by proactively deleting travelers’ credit card information a few days after the booking has been processed.
- 200% code coverage: Almost every action in every use case of Marrley is tested via both unit tests and automated Selenium tests (this is the first scope of the Merrcury Engine that features said levels of quality assurance).
The user interfaces of Marrley were designed by Javier “Maestro” Mesa early this year, coded for approx five months by Andres “Falkon” Herrera using test-driven development, and tested and tweaked by Sergio “Alucard” Perilla for around eight weeks. The language was edited by Brett McCallon. Thank you guys!
