Introduction
- Testing is vital and crucial as software death can happen.
- We need to examine the overall compliance to our best practice besides going through the features, requirements and test plan.
- Then we examine the best tools for a test suite.
- Fitnesse is one such tool already explored by Carlos Ruiz and Ivan Calderon's team at Interopen.
- Fitnesse expands the concept of testing to be more bazaar like and allow anyone out there to test easily, diversely and constantly.
- It is easily upgraded to SLIM, a more powerful version of Fitnesse.
Scope Deliberation
To come to an understanding of a scope, it is best to grasp where we are and where we want to go.
General Proposition of an ERP
- The essence of a modern ERP today lies in its Financials Integration.
- The core of that is the Costing Engine that fulfills advanced Cost Accounting requirements.
- A Costing Engine is a highly challenging module to develop and even SAP cannot perfectly resolve all scenarios.
- ADempiere seeks to resolve the most common terms of advanced use, such as Average Costing with Average Invoicing, FiFO and LiFO.
State of Affairs
- Compiere, which ADempiere inherits from does not have a complete costing method beyond Standard Costing.
- In developing methods like Average Costing, e-Evolution has proposed that a complete writing of it is necessary.
- Thus the Sponsored Development: Libero Cost Engine is born.
Dictionary or Terms
- Costing Method - Standard, Average, FIFO, LIFO.
Index of Discussion Threads

Standard Costing
Test Plan
Testing Framework Toolset
- The TestFramework to be used is Slim Fitnesse.
- Decision Tables will send sample data and assertions to a Fixture that describes a Use Case that access a JUnit class testing the Cost Engine.
- The Decision Tables are wiki-like where any user can edit the sample data.
- This allows maximum reuse, visibility, high readability and scenario building without editing JUnit classes.
