Solution

In addition to bug-fixing, implementation of improvements and different tests writing, we can highlight the following solutions:

  • Developing a Task Recorder for POS from zero point.
  • Developing an app “Peripheral Simulator” from zero point to the almost fully completion. It is a simulator of devices connected to the cash register. Later, on the basis of this application was implemented POS Simulator – application for testing real, not virtual devices.
  • Developers made a big contribution into Point of Sale Extensibility implementation – framework for custom extensions embedding. We have developed an API and big number of samples.
  • Akvelon is currently working on ensuring application performance on mobile devices.
