The Mozarrt Scope Is Ready to Play A Little Night Music

The Mozarrt Scope, another of the scopes that comprise the Merrcury Engine (the software behind LetMeGo), is ready for prime time. The Mozarrt Scope ensures that users of LetMeGo, both travelers and lodging staff members, can easily communicate with each other via email. It is named, of course, after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Through it, travelers will be able to inquire about lodgings, invite lodgings to submit bids to their itineraries, ask questions about bids, etc. Lodging staff members will be able to use it to send custom offers, ask questions about itineraries, and more. Mozarrt is also fully localized, thus helping users of LetMeGo to communicate even if they are using LetMeGo in different languages.

The coding for this scope started in 2008. An alpha version was coded and tested so that other scopes could make use of its functionality. This year, we started working on the beta version of Mozarrt. Getting the scope to the beta stage required significant refactoring of the code, and extensive tests. Very soon, it will go live as part of the private beta.

Most of the coding and unit testing of Mozarrt was done by Henry “Tufla” Canastero. Graphic design was done by Javier “Maestro” Mesa. The language was edited by Brett McCallon. Additional coding was done by Luis Betancourt. Automated Selenium tests for the alpha version were also created by Henry, while the Selenium tests for beta were refactored and expanded by Gisella “Gigi” Borja. Thank you team!
