Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para la gestión de pasajes de buses interprovinciales.

Abstract

Land transport at the Ecuadorian level consists of a group of transport cooperatives which continue to use traditional methods for the collection and allocation of tickets and seats, despite the fact that certain cooperatives already have software that allows them to better manage tickets. , a total automation of these processes has not yet been achieved, for this the company Geckotech has proposed the realization of a mobile application, which allows the common user to acquire interprovincial bus tickets in a simple, intuitive and reliable way. This reading describes the entire creative and technical process that made the development of the mobile application possible, which was created based on the famous Extreme Programming or XP development methodology for its acronym and thanks to the revolutionary Xammarin.Forms technology. which allowed to have a mobile application for the two most famous operating systems on mobile devices such as Android and iOS. Additionally, focusing the project based on the Test Driven Development or TDD programming practice allowed the system to be more robust and scalable. The result of this project were 4 mobile applications, 2 for each operating system, one for the user and one for the driver.
