Cloud based Client for the RPAS Platform for Planning in Retail Business

Abstract

RPAS stands for Retail Predictive Application Server. It is used in the retail industry to forecast the current market trends based on the previously known data. It is basically a platform which provides the infrastructure needed to process and produce information based on the input provided by the retailer. In basic terms, it helps in planning of inventory by analyzing the customer needs and behaviour and minimize the stock wastage due to improper planning.

This project focuses on a Cloud based Client application for RPAS. It acts as an interface between RPAS and users, and provides various functionalities which include creation of workbook, projecting the data in graphs, alerts etc.

The areas of Cloud based Client covered in this project are Online Administration Tools. OAT provides an interface that allows authorized users to launch back-end processes from the Cloud Client. It also provides a dashboard-like interface for an administrator to monitor the status of a task after a request has been submitted.

The other area of Cloud Client that is covered is Automation Testing of Cloud Client UI using Synergy.
